The fontmap file maps between the PostScript font names (e.g. /Times-Roman) and
GhostScript font FILES (e.g. ptmr.gsf).  It live in the ./fonts subdirectory.
Now, to make the rest of it work, you need to modify your GS_LIB variable:

GSLIB=e:\ghostscr.ipt\fonts,e:\ghostscr.ipt\ps

Basically, it's a search path for any file GS wants to open.  Can't remember if
the slashes face forward or back (forward in the variable, backwards on the
command line?).
