I also noticed that this entry in sys broke and re-read the 2.11
documentation which says someplace that you need a distribution
in the sys entry - alas, when modified as follows:

maps:world,mod.map:F:/usr/spool/maps/mod.map/Batch

everything started working again -

As a side note:
I use uuhosts to do the map extracting: uuhosts -unbatch 

Make sure the mapsh is setuid root or things will fail even
with the above, but at least you are informed via mail when
uuhosts does the extraction.
