Tim,

The problem with GetGeoTransform() presumably represents an issue
with the NITF driver, not your code.  You mention you are getting
corner coordinates from gdalinfo, are they sensible?  It might be
helpful if you could send your "gdalinfo" output for the image.  Also
the results of nitfdump (cd into gdal/frmts/nitf and make this by hand)
on the image.

Best regards,
