Bart,
I have looked into this, and I think the problem is that the path to the
file isn't getting expanded as you expect. In particular, if an invalid
file path that ends in .ecw gets passed to GDAL it will report the above
error message.
You might want to try to build your tile index with absolute paths.
Alternatively you will need to find out how they are resolved ... either
relative to the DATA path, the tile index, or the map file.
Best regards,
