Comment (by wildintellect):

 Please double check that your layer projection definition is correctly.
 Using EPSG: 3395 which is an identical proj string (as far as I can see)
 to 54004 it works fine.

 The coordinates in your screenshot do not correspond to the correct
 location of any part of the US in the projection you specified.
