SLD pointsymbolizer externalgraphic trouble

Well, I've confirmed that my approach for getting charts on a map using SLD, pointsymbolizer and externalgraphics will work because I tested it against DMSolutions server with my own SLD and graph:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?version=1.1.1&service=wms&request=getmap&layers=prov_bound,popplace&sld=http://devgeo.cciw.ca/ecesdi/sldpoint4.xml
However, on my own installations of mapserver, I can't get this to work. I get the provincial boundaries with no point layer at all.
I am looking in my apache error log and I see:
[Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Layer 5 (prov_bound), 0.015s\r
[Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Layer 9 (popplace), 0.016s\r
[Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s\r
[Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap() total time: 0.031s\r
This error occurs even just with only the prov_bound layer, no SLD.
So - is it time for me to re-install mapserver 4.6 on my machine? Any other possible solutions?

Assefa,
I'm quite sure that mapserver is finding the appropriate temp directory to write to because I got an SLD with polygonsymbolizer and external graphic to work just fine, and an image called H1.gif appears in that temp directory and my map is symbolized properly.
However, I still can't get the same thing to work with a pointsymbolizer.
My intention is to try to get little graphs on a map using SLD, pointsymbolizer and filters so that a layer that has centroids of provinces for instance can have a different graph at the centre of each province.
What do you and others think of that approach for getting graphs on a map?
Can anyone suggest anything else?
Anyway, still need to get a point symbolizer working with external graphics. Attached is the sld that I'm using for points... I'm at a total loss. An SLD for polygons and external graphics works fine.

You can use mode=browse and that should create files in the tmp dir.
You need to set the template in the web object :
WEB
TEMPLATE "template.html"
template.html should exist but can be empy or have something like this
<input type="image" name="img" src="[img]">
