Ned,

The GCPs would only show up when you do the gdalinfo on the subdataset.
I am not sure why you are running into problems with gdalinfo on the subdataset
name, likely some sort of shell processing issue.

You might want to try changing the backslashes to forward slashes, and/or
removing the double quotes.  You might also find you need to add
single or double quotes around the whole thing.

... ahh, now that I look at it, the problem is likely the colon after
the drive letter.  If you don't need it (ie. you are already on c:)
then just drop the drive specification.  Otherwise, you *will* need the
double quotes around that portion of the name, but you will need to
protect them from processing by the shell.  Perhaps this can be
accomplished by prefixing them with backslashes.

I realize this is all pretty messy.

Best regards,
