1.  remember to have the correct libmap.dll (from the shared/sde directory)
in the cgi-bin directory
2.  ensure that you have the ArcSDE C API Dll's loaded on the mapserver
machine
3.  run your mapfile with DEBUG=ON
4.  check you have the necessary permissions set for your connecting user to
the ArcSDE layers
5.  connection strings we use successfully are:
        CONNECTION "servername,port:portnum,database,username,password"
        CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
        DATA "schema.sdelayername,SHAPE,SDE.DEFAULT"

I'd suggest gettign a mapfile with a shape file as a base (so you know you
are in the correct area) and a single SDE layer to display over the top.

Also check the MapServer log file as this can tell you the errors (whether
permissions, server etc)

What is the message with (-1) ?
