The file it's using is
  ~/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts.map
which is a link to psfonts_t1.map in the same dir.  I guess the reason
it's a link is must be so I can substitute psfonts_pk.map for
psfonts_t1.map.  No idea where these came from--I didn't set it up like
that (I'm not that smart :-)).

Both psfonts_t1.map and psfonts_pk.map have the ff. line for pzdr:
  pzdr ZapfDingbats

> Same for pdftex.map

...also under a subdir of ~, with the following line for pzdr:
  pzdr Dingbats <uzdr.pfb
(why the '<'?)

...also under a subdir of ~, with the following line:
  pzdr default uzdr

I suspect you're right, that there's a misconfiguration.  I'm just not
sure what to do about it, short of re-installing the whole shebang (which
I recall was a rather tortuous process).

I'm now creating a minimal doc, to see if I can narrow down where this
happens.
