Hi:
   It could be that mapinfo tab files contain more than one type of data 
      	try chaning the type from annotation to line, polygon or point and
see if you see anything
      	(it looks like you are trying to put a circle on an annotation layer
which I think wont work
   	
   I use this map file layer and it seems to work:
   
  	layer
		name "Overall Water - Text"
		group "Overall Water"
		connection
"e:\GIS_Claims\gisdata\MapInfo\Engineering\Overall_drawings\test\Water_combi
ned.tab"
		connectiontype OGR
		metadata
			description "Overall Water - Text"
		end
		minscale 100
		MAXSCALE 3000

		status off
		type ANNOTATION
		styleitem "auto"
		class
			name "Overall Water - Text"
			keyimage "blue_a.png"
		end
	end
