Mark,

Can you send along a code snippet so we can see the syntax?

Are you working with an application that was designed around a much
older version of MapServer (say, 3.6.x)?  If so, take a look at the
"saveImage() and saveWebImage()" section at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MigrationGuide

You could also configure MapServer with --enable-debug to trap some more
information.
