Nearly - it fails differently.

As expected for unset TMP.

Obviously this succeeded, and cannot explain the error message you got
the first time.  

But we still need to decide whether we should change updmap to use
TMPDIR instead of TMP, or in addition to it.  


Here comes the version with TMP set.  It gives a completely different
error message:

So for further debugging, we don't need the version of updmap-sys in
/usr/local/bin, since the error messages will be displayed, anyway.

cork-lm.map should be in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/, and
should be found with the command kpsewhich --format=map cork-lm.map.  Is
this the case on your system?  What's the output of 

kpsewhich --show-path map
