time series problem

Hi,
I have a problem with time series for WMS. I have used the following  
WMS attributes in my map file and I get the default image the first  
WMS map request. The moment I start requesting maps with the time  
variable set, I get an exception indicating that the time format used  
is not correct.

The data is GeoTIFF
I have an index shapefile with an imgdate column containing the dates  
in the same format

Anyone an idea, I can't find an example that has a whole range of  
images with a specific time set for each image.

Map file extract:

At the map level (although I don't think this is supported/needed for  
GeoTIFF data!?)
____________________________
       "wms_timeformat"                 "YYYY-MM-DD"
____________________________


At the layer level
____________________________

      "wms_style_default_title"              "default"
      "wms_format"                           "image/png"
      "wms_timedefault"                  "2005-09-11"
      "wms_timeextent"                   
"2005-08-21,2005-09-01,2005-09-11"          # also tried with spaces  
after each comma
      "wms_timeitem"                         "imgdate"

     END
     DUMP TRUE
     TILEINDEX 'ndvi_idx'
     TILEITEM "location"
     EXTENT -180.0 -90.0 180.0 90.0
     PROJECTION  "init=epsg:4326" END

Thanks in advance,
