Isaac,

Your best bet as Jeff mentioned to you is to uses the mapserver mailing 
list, there are more people to tap into that knows mapserver. This 
mailing list is best for specific questions with MapLab. 

To try and answer your question I am not familiar with what you are 
doing with OGR, but if you are just simply trying to display your shape 
file data simple do this:



LAYER
  NAME States In Germany
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA "data/germany/deustate.shp"
  STYLEITEM "AUTO"
  PROJECTION
    "AUTO"
  END
  CLASS
    NAME "States In Germany"
    STYLE
      SYMBOL 0
      COLOR 255 0 0
      SIZE 1
      MINSIZE 1
      MAXSIZE 100
    END
  END
END
