owel,
Seems that your postfix install doesn't have mysql compiled in. You will need to recompile with steps similar to the following (modify for your paths):

postfix stop
make tidy
make -f Makefile.init makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL'   '-I/path/to/mysql/includes AUXLIBS=/path/to/mysql/libs/libmysqlclient.a -lm'
make
sh INSTALL.sh

Then check to see if mysql is a valid map type:

postconf -m | grep mysql

Once you get mysql compiled in you should be good to go (or have more errors that we might be able to help you diagnos)

Hope that helps.
