Not 100% sure, but I think the STATUS is more for shp2img.  WMS Server uses the layers that the client requests, regardless of the STATUS setting.  I use OpenLayers as my client, and in it I specify what layers to show.  I dont think it matters what I set the mapfile's STATUS too.

Just guessing though...
