(retrying message)

Hi all, I am new to MapServer. 

I have downloaded and setup MS4W and was able to overlay the example Bath
and other map data on google maps. 

I then created my own .map file using QGIS and supplied my data but the
served tiles are completely blank(transparant or white when I select RGB). 

My data set is .GML and I also tried converting it to .SHP format. I have
checked that my setup is ok by doing is on two different computers. 

When I use shp2img.exe then it renders the layers properly. 
c:\> shp2img.exe -m hampshire.map -o hampshire.png -s 2048 2048 

I am using this URL scheme: 
http://localhost:8088/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/hampshire.map&layers=HampshireAreas&mode=tile&tilemode=gmap&tile=[x]+[y]+[z] 

I have attached all the relevant files. (2 sets, one is .SHP and the other
is .GML, both cases I get transparent empty tiles) 

Can anyone please help me identify the reason why the generated tiles are
transparent and how I can fix it. 

(7MB total, 1MB pieces, sorry if this is large, I am new to mailing lists
too, please use 7Z to unzip) 
SHP: Hampshire.map Hampshire.7z.001...006 
GML: Hampshire-gml.map Hampshire-gml.7z
