Lluis, 

Are the produced GeoTIFF files readable with GDAL?  (ie. gdalinfo). 

If so, but not readable by other applications the reason is likely
that GDAL produces TIFF files with the bands separated
(planar config separate) instead of pixel interleaved (planar
config contiguous).  Try adding:

  FORMATOPTION "INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" 

in your OUTPUTFORMAT declaration.  This should make the
result compatible with less capable TIFF viewers. 

If that is not the problem, I would suggest providing an example
of a file that is unreadable and I could review it to see what might
be the problem. 

Best regards,
