Mapserver and flash maps failure

Hello,

I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to use the flash mapserver 
capability from the Demo for Flash maps (fmv.zip) from the mapserver 
website. I built from source hopefully everything needed.

[djisgitt at dji-ibm cgi-bin]$ ./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.4.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Entering 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/djisgitt/fmv/fmv.map&mode=browse 
in mozilla produces all the expected text, and an outline of what should 
be an image, but no image.

mapserver web log shows:
Tue Sep  6 10:48:56 2005,11737,127.0.0.1,FMV_,0,361450.364390 
5025830.253584 363
322.827964 5027865.540078,-1.000000 -1.000000,,normal execution

apache error log shows:
[Tue Sep 06 10:48:57 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not 
exist: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/fmv/tmp/FMV_112602173611737.swf

and, true enough, it does not exist. So, my question is why? No 
permission errors, nor any other errors that I can find. My browser is 
Flash capable (I ran the demo from the remote site listed in the docs, 
and all was well.)

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

Don

p.s. The map file is straight from the demo, so I did not include it here.
