Rainer,

I would note that even though you are converting to a file with the
extension .asc with commands like the following, it is still producing a
GeoTIFF.

 > gdalwarp -s_srs '+proj=longlat +ellps=clrk66 +no_defs' -t_srs '+proj=utm 
+zone=34 +south +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs' hak_ser2.asc 
hak_ser2_utm34.tif

I believe your problem is related to lack of the epsg support files since you
don't mention having a /usr/local/share/epsg_csv directory.
