At least I was, yes, but after looking at the _right_ mapfile it was
missing the AGG-rendering-options.

setting the following helps.
  IMAGETYPE aggpng

  #8bit png, supports transparency.
  OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME aggpng
     DRIVER AGG/PNG
     MIMETYPE "image/png"
     ## transparency only with RGBA Image Mode
     ## mapserver had to be compiled -with-experimental-png
     IMAGEMODE RGBA
     EXTENSION "png"
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_NEW=ON"
     TRANSPARENT ON
  END

Best regards

	Stephan
