I would remove the MAXSIZE and MINSIZE lines from your CLASS till you
get it working and I would try it with only one feature to start with
(I'm not sure you can do multiple features but I never tried. and make
sure you are view the area where the one point is being placed. This can
be a little hard to figure out with multiple projection spaces so view
is zoomed out.

Good Luck,
