I feel silly to have to ask this but I can't seem to get this working. 
Please forgive me in advance if it turns out to be silly operator error.

I'm trying to put a "you are here" bullseye image on a generated map along
with some text.  Relevant (according to me, let me know if more is
required) portions of the map file are:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'urhere'
  TYPE PIXMAP
  IMAGE "images/bullseye.png"
END

LAYER
  NAME URHERE
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  STATUS DEFAULT
  CLASS
    SYMBOL "urhere"
    LABEL
      POSITION AUTO
      COLOR 34 86 136
      TYPE truetype
      SIZE 10
      FONT "Luxi"
      ANTIALIAS true
      WRAP "|"
      SHADOWCOLOR 230 230 230
    END
  END
  FEATURE
    TEXT "You are here.|(mile marker x)"
    POINTS -81.00524 34.35565 END
  END
END

What I'm getting is the text but no image.  I've tried moving the SYMBOL
definition out to a seperate SYMBOLSET file with no change.  I've changed
the name of the PNG file to something bogus and it complains so I think
it's actually finding the correct file.  I've tried using a simple
"circle" symbol instead of an external PNG file and I dont get that
either, just the text.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Paul
