More than two hours ago, I sent the following reply to Karl Berry's  
message, but as it hasn't reached the list, I post it again (sorry if  
both my messages arrive eventually...):

----
In my case (Mac OS X), updmap.cfg in

/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config/web2c/

is also the active one (the one in .../texmf-var is the original). It  
gets created [addition: it gets created automatically] when I add my  
personal maps (lucida, MinionPro, etc.), and further additions by  
tlmgr also go there; these are the last lines in

/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
...
Map lucida.map
Map MinionPro.map
Map pmn.map
Map pnb.map
Map garuda-c90.map
Map norasi-c90.map

These are the dates of /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config/web2c/ 
updmap.cfg:

Date created          Date modified
December 20, 2008     January 7, 2009

And these are the dates of /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var/web2c/ 
updmap.cfg:

Date created          Date modified
August 22, 2008       August 22, 2008

Best,

Axel
