Greg,

I notice you did not include a GeoTransform tag to indicate the georeferenced
location.  Without this you are not getting valid corner coordninates and
this may be what is preventing GeoServer from reading the file.

Keep in mind that the origin in the geotransform should be the top left corner
of the top left pixel treated as an area.

Best regards,
