I looked at the Capabilities returned by your server, 
(http://lignum.midbc.com/cgi-bin/demo?REQUEST=Capabilities) and it seems
to advertize its onlineresource as

    <Get><OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="http://lignum.midbc.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/itasca/demo.map&"/></Get>

This URL doesn't work, it gives an error:
  msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/itasca/demo.map)

So I think that may explain why you didn't get a map via Cubeview.

This happens if the file "epsg" is missing in the proj directory
(/usr/local/share/proj/epsg on Unix), or if you try to use an epsg:XXXX
code that doesn't exist in that file.

You may want to upgrade to the latest version of PROJ.4 on the machine
that gives this error (the latest PROJ should include the 'epsg' file). 
Or you can download a copy from 
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/proj4-epsg.zip

If your server runs on Windows, then the epsg file is searched in either
C:\PROJ, or C:\PROJ\NAD depending on the version of PROJ that was used
to compile MapServer.
