MapServer 5.0.0, GDAL 1.5.0 and HDF5 1.6.6 problem

Hi All,
I am trying to display HDF5 files directly in MapServer without converting them. To test the HDF library with GDAL, I first converted a subset (gdal_translate -of GTiff HDF5:"METEOSAT_7_MVIRI_GLOBEWV_2003_02_20_12_00_00.h5"://image1/image_preview meteopreview.tif). This tiff can be viewed with MapServer, so i assume the HDF5 library is correctly implemented in GDAL.
Now I want to directly open the HDF5 file in mapserver. This gives me an error. (" The server encountered an internal error or  misconfiguration and was unable to complete  your request.")
The Apache error log looks like this: 
Appache Error Log:
[Tue Jan 22 11:45:34 2008] [error] [client 145.23.130.25] malformed header from script. Bad header=szFilenname /nobackup/users/pl: mapserverhdf.cgi
[Tue Jan 22 11:45:34 2008] [error] Failed to change_hat to 'HANDLING_UNTRUSTED_INPUT'

And the mapfile looks like this (part of):
MapFile:
LAYER 
	NAME preview
	DATA 'HDF5:/nobackup/users/plieger/mapdata/METEOSAT_7_MVIRI_GLOBEWV_2003_02_20_12_00_00.h5://image1/image_preview'
	#DATA 'meteopreview.tif'
	DUMP TRUE
	TYPE         RASTER
	PROCESSING   "BANDS=1"

	PROJECTION
		
		proj=nsper
		lon_0=0.000000
		lat_0=0
		h=35807.250000
		a=6378.134766
		b=6356.750488
	END
END

(When i switch the data statement to tiff it works, otherwise it gives me an error (see the # sign).)

I use a script that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the LD_RUN_PATH to the correct path, this script calls in turn mapserver. Therefore I think that there is no problem with the libraries. It also works with all the other libraries. I have to use this script because I have no admin rights, (and i won't get them).
Can anyone help me with this problem, or had the same problem? 

Thanks in advance,
Maarten
