Which version of MapServer?

If you are using version 5.0, then the way logging/debug output works 
has changed. More details are available in RFC-28:
   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-28

In your case you'll need to add to your mapfile:

   CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "\tmp\mapserver.log"
