It sounds to me as though setmaps is doing the wrong thing for one reason
or another.  setmaps is supposed to read keymaps.txt and build the
keymaps.c file from that.  If you already had a keymaps.c file, but your
JOVE is configured differently, and the keymaps.c file didn't get
recreated by setmaps, then you will have the problems you are having.  So
that's the first thing I would check.
