Fred,

Check if your source table is being read correctly.
Use ogrinfo.
ogrinfo -al "MSSQL:server=ELMER;database=HT_2011_10;trusted_connection=yes"

OGR doesn't read the MSSQL geometries if the source table doesn't have an
entry in the geometry_columns table. You can bypass this by using the
'Tables' parameter in the connection string[1].
