To test your MapServer mapfile I recommend using the shp2img commandline 
  utility (http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html).  Once you 
have shp2img's resulting map image looking like you want, then you can 
test in your application.  (this is how I would debug your problem, if I 
was hitting your issue)
