Hello,

My guess is that you're running into projection problems.  Here are some 
quick notes:

- make sure your MAP level EXTENTS match the projection defined at the 
MAP level
   - if you don't have a projection object at MAP level then add one 
(think of this as output projection)
- make sure your WMS layer contains a projection object, in order to 
tell MapServer what the requested image's projection is
   - the EPSG code is the code that you requested from the WMS server

Hope that helps.
