For the moment, you might as well comment out OFFSITE and your CLASS
block to see if either of those makes any difference.  I doubt you need
that CLASS block in there anyway.

Here is a simple tileindex layer def that works for me:

LAYER
   NAME "drg_index"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE RASTER
   OFFSITE 0 0 0
   TILEINDEX "/a1/data/or/shp/drg_index.shp"
   TILEITEM "location"
END

Did you compile mapserver using the --with-gdal and --without-tiff
options?  Have you been able to display single georeferenced TIFFs?
