Shawn,

The PCI .aux file is only intended to be used with "north up"
images.  I see your corner coordinates are not regular.  For instance
the longitude of the upper left and lower left corner are not the same.

You could wrap the same dataset in a "raw" VRT and associate GCPs
with it to identify the corner coordinates instead of trying to set
a geotransform.  Scan down to the raw file part of:
