James,

OK ... I will note that this this gdalinfo report looks ok, but the
dataset lacks a coordinate system definition as might be expected from
a raw tiff file with a world file (.tfw).  I must admit I'm not too familiar
with this aspect, but I suspect MapGuide has recently been changed to require
a coordinate system definition.  There is a mechanism to provide the
coordinate system as an override, but I'm not exactly clear on the process.

Perhaps someone else can make a suggestion.

There are also mechanisms using FWTools to assign a coordinate system
to a TIFF (turning it into a GeoTIFF) if you would like to pursue that
angle.

Best regards,
