Thanks to Ed McNierney, Frank Warmerdam and Bart van den Eijnden - it
seems that ArcMap is requesting a PNG from Mapserver - which then
defaults to 256 colours.  By changing the OUTPUTFORMAT IMAGEMODE
definition for png to RGBA, it has resolved the issue.  In the end an
easier solution to than I thought it would be.
Thanks again guys for the quick response.
