Nine times out of ten, a blank image means that your projections don't 
line up. I notice in your sample that you don't specify a projection for 
the output map, nor for the layer; though you do specify a extent in meters.

I'd recommend adding a PROJECTION block to both the top level (the MAP 
block) and to the LAYER, for starters.
