just as a follow up for the rest of the group, Assefa solved my
difficulty. I had a line in my mapfile that was causing the problem.
Here's what Assefa had to say:
" The problem comes from a setting in the map file (web metadata) :
"wfs_geometry_element_name" ""
Here is the decription in the docs related to that :
wfs_geometry_element_name
Name of the element (i.e. attribute) to use for the geometry in GML
output. If not set then "MS_GEOMETRY" will be used. The layer-level
"wfs_geometry_element_name" takes precedence over this value.
In your case you can just remove this metadata from your map file and It
should work. Setting it to an empty string creates a bug in Mapserver.
Note that It is not the case anymore in Mapserver 4.1.
"
Thanks Assefa!

Debbie,
I can't seem to reproduce this with my test files using 4.0.1. Is it
possible to send me your map file to see if I can reproduce it? If it
happens with all shapefiles, I am assuming data is not the problem and
might be some setting in the map file.
Later,
