the regular expression you entered equates to this. the word maps, and 0 or more ':'s what you want is this val.regex="^maps:.+"
which says you want to start with "maps:" with at least one "anycharacter"(.) following it.
Try that and see if it works.. Also be sure to check the log with loglevel 255.. (slapd -d 255)
