IMHO the problem is that TEXMFHOME is a per user variable. Hence,
kpsewhich et al. look into /root/texmf/ among other directories, but not
in *your* TEXMFHOME. I think you have to put *both* the updmap.cfg
sniplets and the map files into /etc/texmf/, such that both are found
when root runs update-updmap and updmap(-sys). You can leave the real
fonts and metrics in TEXMFHOME, if you want to.
