and it worked fine. My roadmaps folder looks like:
Code:
$ ls
MB     MN     ND     SB     usdir.rdm
I also could not get addresses in Winnipeg to lookup either, and I think you may be right about it not being setup for that. Check the following:

Code:
$ grep -i Fargo usdir.rdm
Fargo-Odell
Fargo
West Fargo
$ grep -i -B1 Manitoba usdir.rdm
MB
Manitoba
$ grep -i peg usdir.rdm
Pegram
$ grep -i peg MB/usc89001.rdm
Peguis
Winnipeg
It seems the Manitoba map file lists Winnipeg, but the usdir does not, and [speculation]I have a feeling that usdir needs to list it for it to be searchable. Though one would think if it knows MB, it would search the MB folder for maps with Winnipeg in them... not sure.

Kernelpanic is already looking into problems with address lookup, so I'm sure we'll hear an answer when he knows what's up.
You are correct. Address lookup is based upon data formats available only in tiger maps. usdir.rdm is the directory index which maps location to state/zip. Tiger maps are by zip code. Address lookup depends upon that. (OSM maps are stored based upon location. So looking up an OSM address would require the search function to scan ALL OSM maps since there's no location mapping. It's simply not implemented yet. )
