Actually I'm selecting 30 different VMAP0 layers and import each of
them from every of the four VMAP0 datasets. After the import was done I
made an export from the PostGIS-DB into one shapefile for each layer
and by watching these in QGIS I realized that the north-american part
was missing from three layers.
I was seeing a similar effect when I forgot to provide the required
login information for the PostGIS-DB to 'ogr2ogr', which then failed
with returncode "0" as well. I didn't get any error message at all.

The process I'm doing here is a bit long-winded and takes a few hours
until I can tell if the failure is reproducible.

Cheers,
	Martin.
