Running a truss of rdesktop (in Solaris) shows that it is looking for a keymaps directory in one of the following (bearing in mind my locale is set to c):
${HOME}/.rdesktop/keymaps/c
/usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps/c
${HOME}/.rdesktop/keymaps/en-us
${HOME}/.rdesktop/keymaps/common
${HOME}/.rdesktop/keymaps/modifiers

in my case the last three are the files that rdesktop finds because I have put them there because rdesktop is not installed locally but in a different directory from where it is expecting to be.

So in your case if rdesktop is installed in the standard location then I suggest ensuring you can cd into /usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps and that any files in there are chmodded to 644.

If that directory does not exist then you could run:
Code:
$ truss -a -e -f -vall -t open -o /tmp/rdesktop.truss rdesktop <servername>

I'm sure there are parameters to truss that are not necessary but we'll see what we want!
Then run:
Code:
$ grep keymap /tmp/rdesktop.truss

and you will see where rdesktop is looking for keymaps files.
