When you request the layer, what is your request? I ask because you have 
a wms_title, so I wonder whether you're requesting layer grens or layer 
gemeentgrens -- it should be grens.

Other than that, looks great. What is it doing instead of working? When 
you hit mapserv directly via a manual WMS request, does it generate a 
blank image, or an error? Do you have a WMS URL pointing at this layer, 
which we could use to check?

I might also recommend that you go over the WMS Server HOWTO on the 
website, just in case something got overlooked. Check the usual stuff: 
projections, wms_srs listing, read your WMS server's capabilities 
document and make sure it's sane, ...
