Murty,

Unfortunately, this is a flaw in the way things are processed.  The
MS_PLUGIN_DIR item is consulted as the map is being parsed so settig it
after creating the map object does no good.  I can't really think of any
way around this for you, other than modifying the input map before creating
the map object.

Sorry...
