Does the above function return a non-NULL result?  Does the
GDALReprojectionTransform() function seem to be doing the right
thing (ie. success is TRUE and result coordiantes are geographic)?

It seems to me that the problem isn't specifically with the coordinate
reprojection, but with how the output file is created - a matter you
haven't described.  What is the output format?  How are you setting the
coordinate system on the output file?  Possibly you will need to provide
more context.

I will say I don't see any inherent problem with the output coordinate
system definition you are using.
