Howdy,

1)Didn't you run updmap rather than updmap-sys at some point? Remove  
the ~/.texlive2008 directory and its contents. It will be recreated if/ 
when it is needed.

2)Try to disable the map and then re-enable it using the suggested

sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees
sudo updmap-sys --disable lucida.map
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=lucida.map

which will have updmap-sys pick up the additional map(s), force the  
disabling of the lucida map and then re-enable the map cleanly. You  
can speed the process up a bit by adding the options `--nohash -- 
nomkmap' to the first two commands; e.g.,

sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --syncwithtrees
sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --disable lucida.map
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=lucida.map

which will not take the time to re-create the system map file on those  
runs.

Good Luck,
