Which version of MapServer are you using?  

In version 3.6, the shapepath argument was required for open(), with a
postgis layer you could pass any value for this argument and it would be
ignored.

In version 3.7 the shapepath argument is gone, so you should call
$layer->open() with no argument.

Unfortunately I cannot be of much help with respect to postgis-specific
issues, but in theory what you're doing seems to be the right thing.
