MapServer needs a circle symbol to use as a brush to render thick lines. 
Try defining a symbol called "default-circle" in your symbolset, this 
symbol should be used to render thick lines.

This is explained in the paragraph on "Line Thickness" at:
http://mapserver.org/input/vector/ogr.html#mapping-of-ogr-style-info-to-the-mapserver-class-members

A new WIDTH parameter has been added to the style object in recent 
releases that removes the need for the circular brush, but that's not 
supported yet by the STYLEITEM code... I'll need to add it.
