[tex-live] Problem with local fonts

Hi,

I cannot get the local fonts right. I run TeXLive 2007 on Vista 32-bit.
I set the local texmf tree manually under C:\TeXLive2007\texmf-local and 
then put the files under:

       
C:\TeXLive2007\texmf-local\fonts\pk\ljfour\kulstijl\dpi300\kulfont1.300pk
       
C:\TeXLive2007\texmf-local\fonts\pk\ljfour\kulstijl\dpi600\kulfont1.600pk
       C:\TeXLive2007\texmf-local\fonts\tfm\kulstijl\kulfont1.tfm

Of course I updated the texmf tree.

Now when I try to build a document with the font, dviout complains with 
the following:

    Abort automatic font generation for this file?
    Retry it for the investigation by executinhg GEN_TMP.BAT?
    Ignore this font?

Of course I retry:

    
C:\Users\Diederik\Documents\Doctoraat\Voortzettingsrapport>C:\TEXLIV~1\bin\win32
    \mktexpk.exe --mfmode / --dpi 600 --bdpi 600 --mag 600/600 kulfont1
*    mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile!
    mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for kulfont1.
*    C:\Users\Diederik\Documents\Doctoraat\Voortzettingsrapport>Pause to 
keep the abo
    ve message by Cut   & Paste!
    Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .

Going back to dviout I get quite some info from the logfile:


kulfont1.600(3000):

    Searched the above

As you can see, the texmf-local subtree is not even considered.
I tried for days to find it but I didn't! I hope someone here knows this 
problem...

Thanks in advance!
