I am not familiar with the workshop.zip package, so I am guessing. But
check that /Users/epifanio/Sites/workshop/tmp/ has write permissions.
Mapserver has various modes, some need to write to the tmp directory,
some do not. mode=map does not write to tmp, most other modes do. I am
guessing that you are getting a map only in "rubber band box" is
because it uses mode=map.

You might also want to join the mapserver-users list, which has more
members, and may be better able to answer your question.
