Antti,

The .tab file aspect definitely won't work with GDAL.  The ECW will if
you have ECW support built in.  Try running gdalinfo against the ecw file
or doing "gdalinfo --format ecw" to check if the ecw driver is available
in your build.  If not, mapserver will fall through to trying the file as
EPPL and give the report you see.

Best regards,
