I am having this same problem on a fresh install of F15 and TeXLive 
2010. I.e., I get:

/home/rgheck/ > sudo updmap-sys --listmaps
updmap: This is updmap, version $Id: updmap 17423 2010-03-11 17:53:34Z 
karl $
updmap: using transcript file 
`/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/web2c/updmap.log'
Map mathpple.map
MixedMap mflogo.map
Map lm.map
MixedMap cmtext-bsr-interpolated.map
Map fge.map
MixedMap tipa.map
MixedMap rsfs.map
MixedMap xypic.map

which looks a bit light, and any document using any but the completely 
standard fonts fails to compile. That said, however, I do not seem to 
have anything in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config:

/home/rgheck/ > ls /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/
ls-R

I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to get the system working.
