Agneta,

I would suggest including the "ellps=bessel" in your map projection block as
well.  I am not sure that is the problem, but it could be.

Note that the "proj" PROJ.4 program can be used to batch convert coordinates
and that "gdalwarp" in GDAL 1.1.8 can be used to reproject rasters (with some
limitations).

Best regards,
