Ryk,

I tried importing the SRS you gave in an earlier message into
OGRSpatialReference and it worked fine.  I can't help but wonder if the
problems you encounter are related to the mdbtool code, or something that
is only a problem in the somewhat antique version of GDAL/OGR you are using.

If you can demonstrate a problem in GDAL trunk (or 1.5.x) in a situation
that does not involve the MDBTools stuff (for instancing passing the wkt
on the commandline to a tool) I'd be more inclined to pursue the issue.

Best regards,
