I suppose that if the IMAGEPATH in the map-file is something else than where the images actually are, then you need to have a full path to images in shape file properties.

Jukka,

gdaltindex will write full paths, if you gave it full paths on
the commandline.  In theory mapserver will evaluate
relative paths as relative to the index file, but this area often
seems to cause problems, so if you don't need to move stuff
using full paths is often simpliest.

Best regards,
