Note that OGR's ImportFromEPSG() method does not read the PROJ.4 epsg
init file.  It reads the gcs.csv and pcs.csv files from the GDAL
distribution ... a more direct dump of the EPSG parameters.  Adding a
new projection to the PROJ.4 epsg file won't generally help OGR.

As Tamas suggests, I'd encourage you to directly import as a PROJ.4
string.

Best regards,
