Andy,

For my first round of MapGuide testing I hand authored the datasource
xml stuff, so I'm not sure if it is supported from mapguide studio or not.

At the FDO level my test utility was setting the DefaultRasterFileLocation
property on the connection with either the directory with a bunch of raster
files or pointing directly to a single raster file.

When used this way the schema is call "default" and the feature class is
called "default".   As I understanding it default:default is essentially
a table of the raster files.

It looks like the xml fragment for this looks something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
   <Provider>OSGeo.Gdal.3.2</Provider>
   <Parameter><Name>DefaultRasterFileLocation</Name>
     <Value>C:/warmerda/mgtest/rasters</Value>
   </Parameter>
</FeatureSource>

So I *think* you might be ok if you are seeing default:default.

Best regards,
