Well, what *was* happening is that the Cap XML had a message about a 
parsing error instead of a list of layers.
- worked with /Aqua MODIS 1km imagery
- failed with /Aqua MODIS 1km imagery/2005/2005-06
- worked with /Aqua_MODIS_1km_imagery/2005/2005-06

However, now when I try to reproduce the problem I cannot. I have since 
changed a number of other things in the mapfile, so I need to see if I 
can resurrect the old one. Perhaps the problem was situated between my 
keyboard and my chair.

P.S. The server in question provides images of the Atlantic and Gulf of 
Mexico for a hurricane prediction project. It is located at
 
http://map05.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/modis?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

I haven't announced it broadly yet, but members of the mapserver-dev 
list are welcome to try it out. I have been very impressed by the 
performance of tiled TIFFs with overviews compared to the large PNGs I 
am given as source data, especially when requesting small images of this 
large dataset.
