Using ODBC/OVF with MS SQL

Hi all, 

Can anyone point me in the correct direction. 

I had a MySQL database that I was plotting points on using ODBC/OVF and
everything worked fine. We have now migrated to an MS SQL database, I have
created a DSN and a new OVF. 

<OGRVRTDataSource>

    <OGRVRTLayer name="incidentdata">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:nyf/nyf at WMF</SrcDataSource> 
 	<SrcSQL>SELECT XCOORD, YCOORD, incident_no FROM
cleansed_incidents2508</SrcSQL>
	<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> 
	<LayerSRS>epsg:27700</LayerSRS>
	<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="XCOORD" y="YCOORD"/> 
    </OGRVRTLayer>

</OGRVRTDataSource>

When I run OGRINFO on my OVF I successfully connect to the database and get
my data back. However when I run 

shp2img -m uk.map -o test.png

The points are not plotted on my map, however no errors are thrown. The same
happens when I view my map through mapserv.exe over apache.

here are the details from the ogrinfo....

>ogrinfo incidents.ovf incidentdata
Layer name: incidentdata

  XCOORD (String) = 429252.6

  incident_no (String) = 03-00002
  POINT (429252.59999999998 454477.20000000001 0)

etc.......


the layer in my map file is defined as follows....

 LAYER
     NAME "incidents"
     STATUS ON
     TYPE POINT
     CONNECTIONTYPE OGR  
     CONNECTION "C:/incidents.ovf"
     DATA "incidentdata"
     TEMPLATE "ffff"    
     PROJECTION
           "init=epsg:27700"
     END
     CLASS
     		SYMBOL "incident"
     		COLOR 0 0 0
     		OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
     END
 END  


Many Thanks

Mike.
