That does not sound like tiling to me

tile4ms does not actually tile a shapefile (at least not my version). Once you 
have tiles, tile4ms creates the tileindex shapefile.

To actuallly tile a big shapefile into several (rectangular) tiles, use the 
the avenue script by Chip Hankley 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VectorTileIndex)  
or take a look at a similar Perl script 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?InterPol
