Error while trying to use txt virtual layer

I am having problems using the virtual layer feature. Specifically the
error says it can't find the data file (or unsupported).
I am running on a IIS5 server (ok, WinXPsp2). I have configured the ODBC
with a System DNS, and OGRinfo is able to find it.
I have tried placing the file in different locations (and changing the
ODBC pointer), such as with my other data, with the map file, and in a
folder with no other files or folders. I have tried specifying the path
in the SrcLayer, which actually makes it fail faster.
So, any ideas what I am doing wrong ?
thanks
