Mike,

I think that many of these issues have been fixed in CVS GDAL.  You 
might try the 1.5 MS4W build, which has an ogr2ogr with a recent 
enough CVS GDAL version, or wait until the 1.3.3 GDAL release. 
Specifically, it appears that your MySQL is old enough that it 
doesn't support GEOMETRY types.  The MySQL driver in OGR was in flux 
at the time 1.0ab2 was released, and the limitation of forcing 
geometries has been removed.
