Ryan,

Normally the SrcDataSource would point to your csv file, and SrcLayer would
be the basename of your .csv file. So if you csv file was thick18.csv in
the E:\Ryan\solid_earth directory you would use:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
        <OGRVRTLayer  name="thick18">
         <SrcDataSource>E:\Ryan\solid_earth\thick18.csv</SrcDataSource>
         <SrcLayer>thick18</SrcLayer>
         <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="long" y="lat"/>
         <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
         </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>
