[FWTools] Problem with GeoTIFF created by gdal_translate

[David R Robison]

I have a large MrSID that I am trying to work with. I am using gdal_translate to split it into smaller files and convert them to GeoTIFF. The command I am using is:

gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 0 0 1000 1000 -co "TILED=YES" in.sid out.tif

However, when I try to add it to geoserver I get the following error:

org.geotools.data.DataSourceException: GEOTIFF Module Error Report

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am new to GIS imagery.
Thanks, David
