Peng, 

I'm a bit confused.  The Geotransform is only six doubles long.  Is
it GetGeoTransform() that is returning the above values?  If so, 
why do you get eight values?  Does GetGeoTransform() return
CE_None? 

Can you provide output from the nitfdump program for the file?  It
provides a lower level view of the key nitf information.  You can build
this on windows by going to the gdal\frmts\nitf directory and building
with the command "nmake /f makefile.vc nitfdump.exe"

Best regards,
