Richard, 

You don't need to use ODBC as the source for VRT datasets. 
Input from any OGR supportted format is legal.   The CSV driver
was specifically implemented for lightweight input to the VRT driver
on Unix where the ODBC issues are often messy.

If you can't get OGR access to your CSV file working through a
VRT file email me the .vrt and .csv and I'll take a look.

Best regards,
