Hi,

it appears that the special.map from skak is referred too when instead
the special.map
/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/fontname/special.map should be used

/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update
/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/skak/special.map?

/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/skak/special.map should be
renamed to /texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/skak/skak.map or
some such.

after that I get the expected
/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation
H for Helvetica.
/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update
/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/fontname/special.map?

the above doesn't make much of a difference in practice, since these
errors typically come from fonts which aren't available anyways, e.g.

(/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/amsfonts.sty))
kpathsea: Running mktextfm Helvetica
/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation
H for Helvetica.
/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update
/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/skak/special.map?
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1;
nonstopmode; input Helvetica
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2009)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf Helvetica

! I can't find file `Helvetica'.
<*> ...jfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input Helvetica


Cheers
