By the way Stathis, which plugin and QGIS version are you using to 
generate the mapfile?  I am not aware of a plugin that works with recent 
QGIS.

(I keep a running QGIS 1.8 here, just to have a working and reliable 
"QGIS mapfile export" tool.  I more recent "RT Mapfile Export" plugin is 
not being maintained.

However please let me know if I am incorrect.
