"User.Comments" is a layer name displayed in Footprint Editor,but should be "Cmts.User" inside the kicad_mod file. Refer:

Sorry for previous commit,I've double confirmed this one on my own project.

Why not map the "Component shape layer" to F.Fab? It seems more appropriate.

pls refer to #94
f.fab was my last suggestion,but this would break the board2pdf plugin.
