Hi, did you resolve this problem?  Myself, for debugging map images with 
MapServer I use the shp2img utility 
(http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html).

If you have questions about your application, then you should probably 
use the mapserver-users email list, as you'll have more chance of 
getting application help there.
