The /usr/share/xastir/maps directory probably isn't owned by you.  Try 
copying the files as root:

sudo cp mapfiles /usr/local/share/xastir/maps

You'll have to do this every time you wish to add or remove maps.

Alternatively, since you may be changing things quite a bit, make 
yourself the owner of the xastir tree:

sudo chown -R myusername /usr/local/share/xastir

You shouldn't see "permission denied" after that.
