Craig,

I have reviewed the request url, the .map and the code and I can't see
any
obvious reason it would not be working.  It should be returning a
coverage
description for the requested layer.  You might want to try omitting the
&COVERAGE= request in which case it should try to describe all
coverages.

It might also be helpful to see the capabilities you are getting.

I can confirm the service is not externally visible.

Best regards,
