Stephen,

This would appear to be a serious bug in GDAL's ERMapper
coordinate system handling (though it could still be a data
production error).  Could you file  bug on it?   If the files are
too large to provide to me, it would be helpful if you could:

 o Run "listgeo" on the GeoTIFF file and record the results.
    Listgeo is part of the libgeotiff package, and should be
    included in FWTools releases.

 o Run gdalinfo with the "--debug on" commandline switch
    against the ECW file, and record the results.  It should
    include info ERMapper projection and datum name I can
    use.

The bug should be filed in the GDAL Bugzilla.

Best regards,
