Quick note:

That error usually occurs when there is a problem with the syntax of 
your CGI query string.  There are notes on that at: 
http://www.mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html#changing-map-file-parameters-via-a-form-or-a-url

My experience is that that error doesn't refer to a problem in your 
mapfile, but refers to a problem with the way you are calling mapserv.exe

Others can hopefully assist you more thoroughly :)
