  When did you make this domain mapping purchase please? Domain mapping is not instraneous. It can tahe up to 72 hours for a domain name to propagate throughout the interent but rarely does. Did you follow all the steps, especially this one?

  5. To activate your new domain go to Settings > Domains, select the button next to the one you wish to activate and click Update Primary Domain.

  If you do not see your blog at the new domain immediately, please allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/#instructions-for-registering-a-new-domain-for-your-blog
