[gdal-dev] GDALwarp - Too many points (441 out of 441)

Hello listers,

i am new to GDAL and have a problem to warp a GeoTiff.
The projection of the GeoTiff i got is shown in QGIS as
'+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs'
but the info file from the department says
ETRS89/ UTM 33 Ellipsoide GRS80.

Now i was trying to use gdalwarp with

gdalwarp -s_srs '+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84' -t_srs
'+proj=utm +zone=33 +ellps=GRS80' input.tif output.tif

to transform the coordinates. I was already trying it with the EPSG 
codes 4326 to 25833 the error message is always the same:

ERROR 1: Too many points (441 out of 441) failed to transform,
unable to compute output bounds

I was searching in this list, found an article from 2006 but there the 
utm zone seems to causing the problem.

I will add the gdalinfo output:

Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF Size is 10000, 10000 Coordinate System is `'

Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red Band 2 Block=10000x1 Type=Byte,
ColorInterp=Green Band 3 Block=10000x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue


I hope you can help me to transform the file...

Cheers,
Thomas
