Mirza,

The MID/MIF driver does not support append.  The TAB driver doesn't
seem to support update to an existing file (ie. append) either.

You will pretty much need to append all your data into one big
shapefile and then translate to mapinfo format.

BTW, I think you might want to use -update and -append options.

Best regards,
