Robert,

I review the .aux.xml file for this dataset and it looks like it has
everything needed by GDAL to correctly place the file.  You
did have this, right?  I can't download the big file (I'm stuck on
dialup currently due to technical problems) so I can't easily
check what is going on.  I *suspect* that there is internal
georeferencing in the .sid and GDAL it using it in preference
to the info the .aux.xml or perhaps giving preference to the
.sdw worldfile.

What does a gdalinfo report on this dataset look like? Does it
change if you delete the .sdw file?

Best regards,
