Paco,

You didn't show your layer definition in your mapfile, but it
would appear that shp2img isn't getting the GRASS plugin or
isn't even using the same version of libgdal.so as gdalinfo.

I would suggest:
 o Use "ldd" to determine which versions of the libgdal.so are being
    used by shp2img and gdalinfo.

 o Set CPL_DEBUG=ON in your environment to see if there are messages
    from shp2img about loading the grass plugin.

Likely reasons for this are that your GRASS is a bit old or that
your GDAL is a bit old.  What versions of GRASS and GDAL are
you using?  The vector driver is very new and may have some poorly
understood dependencies.
