Norman,

I think the problem is that the resolution is used to compute a resolution
but your whole database is only 360x180 so 180/300 rounds to zero.  Keep
in mind that when your dataset is in geographic coordinates the resolution
is going to be in degrees, not meters.   So, try something like
RESX=0.0027&RESY=0.0027.  That should give you a resolution of approximately
300m.

Also, you should correct your resolution metadata in your .map file accordingly.
I noticed it was misdeclared last night but forgot to mention it.

Best regards,
