José,

GDAL does not generally use the PROJ.4 epsg init file.  Instead it has
a set of .csv files with the EPSG definition information.

I think you will want to edit this line of FWTools/data/pcs.csv:

23030,"ED50 / UTM zone 
30N",9001,4230,16030,9807,1,0,8805,0.9996,9201,8802,-3,9102,8801,0,9102,8807,0,9001,8806,500000,9001,,,,,,

To include include the TOWGS84 values.  Something like:

23030,"ED50 / UTM zone 
30N",9001,4230,16030,9807,1,0,8805,0.9996,9201,8802,-3,9102,8801,0,9102,8807,0,9001,8806,500000,9001,-87,-98,-121,0,0,0,0 


You might want to verify that GDAL is picking up the definition properly
by entering "testepsg EPSG:23030" in the FWTools shell which will
report the coordinate system in various forms.  Make sure that one (the
first I think) includes the proper TOWGS84[] parameters and that they make
it into the final PROJ.4 rendering.

Best regards,
