By moving to the EQ2Maps folder, do you mean the ui folder under your main UI folder, or do you mean the EQ2Map Updater folder in (probably) your Programs directory? It sounds like your directories might be one off, or the ..ini file might be missing. Starting one directory higher, is your setup:
/Everquest II/UI/
eq2ui_journals.xml
eq2ui_journals_infocenter.xml
etc.
or is it
/Everquest II/UI/<custom ui folder>/
eq2ui_journals.xml
eq2ui_journals_infocenter.xml
etc.
If you don't have the custom ui folder set up, follow the instructions
here for creating it and the .ini file in your Everquest II directory. The .ini file must be created or EQ2 will not know to look in the custom UI folder.
