Brian,

>From the SHPCreateObject() docs:

  panPartStart:		The list of zero based start vertices for the rings
                        (parts) in this object.  The first should always be
                        zero.  This may be NULL if nParts is 0.
  

So, I think panParts[0] should be set to 0.
