It appears to be about 15mi south of were it needs to be. I am assuming this is because of the fact that spherical mercator ignores the fact the earth is an ellipse. Anyway, I have included my openlayers code and my mapfile as after spending hours search seems to be helpful.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><br>
