I think there are two things wrong:
1. Your false easting is here given in feet while I believe proj always
wants meters.  The number is about 400000m.  (See
http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/GenParms).
2. You didn't include an ellipsoid or datum so I'm surprised that proj
worked at all since I get an error without +datum=NAD83 or +ellps=GRS80.

However, correcting both of those, I get  X=2344859.57 ft, Y=1434192.31 ft,
which isn't what you want either.

Now I want to know what I am missing!  Let's hope someone cleverer than me
answers.
