Virtual Spatial Data crashing map

I have been messing around with using x,y points in our Mapserver 4.2
sites via OGR's Virtual Spatial Data feature. The data is stored in
an Access database and I am using a working ODBC connection to get to
the data. In the .map file I have configured the CONNECTION as
follows:
'<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="project_loc">
<SrcDataSource>ODBC:username/password at gis_projects</SrcDataSource>
<SrcLayer>project_locations</SrcLayer>
<FID>ArmPIT_ID</FID>
<GeometeryType>wkbPoint</GeometeryType>
<LayerSRS>EPSG:32606</LayerSRS>
<GeometeryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="XCoord" y="YCoord"/>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>'
This connection string checks out fine using ogrinfo on the server
hosting the ODBC connection and I configured the layer in my .map file
like this:
LAYER
NAME test_points
TYPE point
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION --same as above--
DATA "project_loc"
STATUS default
CLASS
NAME "POINTS"
SYMBOL 'firepoint'
COLOR 0 0 0
END
END
When the layer is set to Default mapserv returns a 404 error "The page
cannot be found".
I am wondering if anyone out there has any tips or advice on Virtual
Spatial Data.
Thanks in advance
