find the akl_srtm__0.geotiff file in you filesystem (probably
in $LOCATION/wms_download/ or so) and look inside it. It probably
contains the text of an error message instead of a tiff image.

I have not yet figured a reliable cross platform way for it to
detect that, unfortunately each wms server handles errors in their
own way, so it is not that easy to test for. (sometimes it is
even a graphics image which says "error" on the tile)

if the "akl" you seek is in the south pacific, I may be able
to help with alternate sources of the data. (guessing from
airport codes)
