Thanks Reinhard for that information.

I have now upgraded to TeXlive2012 and tried to reinstall the files
but with the same depressing result. Everything now lives in
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local. If it wasn't for the fact that I have
used these fonts before I would think there is something not right
with the files.

However, I still think there's womething not right with the search
path. Though kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL gives me
/usr/local/texlive/2012/../texmf-local running updmap-sys --enable
Map=map does not list this file. mktexlsr does however. Any thoughts
would be greatly appreciated!
