OK, it was simple.<br>
I did not have permission to write to the output directory !!!<br>
<br>
I only found this out when I tried to cp the orthos to that
directory so that I could build up a smaller vrt and not have to use
long pathnames.<br>
<br>
Whilst at the end of the day the problem was my side, it would be
nice if the gdal utilities didn't just silently do nothing.<br>
Is this something worth filing as an improvement request - or have
the developers on this list taken note?<br>
<br>
Thanks to all who chipped in.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Zoltan<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Keep is as simple as possible. Make a test with one original tiff. Once you
can clip an area out of that with -prjwin, create a VRT file from that one
image only. If clipping is still successful, add more images into VRT.
Continue until the failure happens again. Think what happens then. Perhaps
it is a faulty image or then there is something wrong in GDAL.
But if clipping fails with one single image in VRT, put some small sample
that can be used for reproducing the error somewhere for downloading. If
your images are not free, it can be any other image if you just fool it to
contain similar georeferencing info.

I did try (partly) this approach, but my clip area covers a couple
of the orthos in the VRT - but a clue I got was that even by
excluding -epo and -eco, I was still getting "partially outside"
errors, and no resulting TIFF file.<br>
<br>
But in keeping with your KISS, I will adjust my clip area to be
inside one of the orthos, and then build up/expand clip regions
from there.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the thoughts - I'll report back later.<br>
