Hi,
Thanks to the quick response from:-
John Timon and Chad Graham
I was able to get my new map installed on my slave servers.
It seems that if you are adding a new map you need to make the map and 
manually copy it to the slave server.
 From that point on the more normal edit file make sequence can be used.
