The version of WordPress 3.0 Domain Mapping that I used required you to do a couple of things like create a directory and so forth. It wouldn't let you use the Plug-in until the tasks were done. Once you get through the setup menu you think you're good to go but you not. The written instructions were clear, I had to copy the file "domain_mapping.php" into "wp-content/mu-plugins/". Once I did that everything fell into place.
There are a lot of blog posts on this plug-in because of A Records and CNAME records that you have to create. Thinking that was the problem I read just about everything I could in order to solve it. I use cPanel and that part was a breeze. I just parked the domains and cPanel did the rest (A Records or whatever). For me, the A Record issue was one big red herring but seemed to be a major issue for a lot of people.
Hope this helps.
