These all look fine. And now that I look back at your original message 
again, I realize that the problem isn't with the .map files, it's with 
locating or activating the .pfb fonts.

You could, but I don't think that will fix things.

Do you have a folder
	/Library/Caches/Type1-sfnt-fonts
on your system? (This should be created by XeTeX the first time it 
needs to activate a .pfb font. I'm wondering if it got created.)

What do you see as output from
	ls -l /Library/Caches
and
	ls -l /Library/Caches/Type1-sfnt-fonts

I'm guessing that the conversion of .pfb files for use by xdv2pdf is 
failing in some way.
