[Tilecache] help with gdal-wms-c driver

Hi List,
after reading
http://crschmidt.net/blog/282/openaerialmap-using-with-other-tools/
and
http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Using_With_MapServer

I thought it would be nice to be able to have a wms-interface in front
of 'our' dutch openstreetmap development server
http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/

But failing to accomplish this (I thought because of the 'strange'
resolutions/scales), I seeded my own tilecache with very simple scales
and bboxes:
http://www.duif.net/osmtilecache/tilecache2.py/1.0.0/osmpostgis2/
and an OpenLayers-test with a TMS layer in front:
http://www.duif.net/osm/wmsct.html
getting tiles from the above mentioned tilecache.

But the main-goal was to be able to put a wms in front of it:

<GDAL_WMS>
     <Service name="WMS">
         <Version>1.1.1</Version>
<ServerUrl>http://www.duif.net/osmtilecache/tilecache2.py/</ServerUrl>
         <Layers>osmpostgis2</Layers>
         <SRS>EPSG:28992</SRS>
     </Service>
     <DataWindow>
         <UpperLeftX>0</UpperLeftX>
         <UpperLeftY>600000</UpperLeftY>
         <LowerRightX>300000</LowerRightX>
         <LowerRightY>300000</LowerRightY>
         <SizeX>524288</SizeX> <!-- ??? -->
         <SizeY>524288</SizeY>
         <TileLevel>11</TileLevel>
     </DataWindow>
     <Projection>EPSG:28992</Projection>
     <!--<OverviewCount>12</OverviewCount>-->
     <BlockSizeX>256</BlockSizeX>
     <BlockSizeY>256</BlockSizeY>
     <BandsCount>3</BandsCount>
</GDAL_WMS>

and a layer in a wms:

LAYER
     name  "osmnl"
     METADATA
       "wms_title" "osmnl"
       "wms_srs" "epsg:28992"
     END
     type raster
     status default
     data "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/osmpostgis2_cache.xml"
     projection "init=epsg:28992" end
     #offsite 0 0 0
END

and an openlayer demo page:
http://www.duif.net/osm/wmsc.html

But I keep failing in getting this to work. I'm not able to build a
configuration that requests the right tiles to tilecache. All request
from mapserver to the tilecache give errors like:

An error occurred: can't find resolution index for 1171.875000.
Available resolutions are:
[2048.0, 1024.0, 512.0, 256.0, 128.0, 64.0, 32.0, 16.0, 8.0, 4.0, 2.0]

Can somebody help me to explain HOW openlayers comes to url's like:
http://www.duif.net/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=osmpostgis2.map&TYPE=jpeg&LAYERS=osmnl&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A28992&BBOX=0,300000,524288,824288&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256
giving rise to:
http://www.duif.net/osmtilecache/tilecache2.py/?request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&layers=osmpostgis2&styles=&srs=EPSG:28992&format=image/jpeg&width=256&height=256&bbox=0.00000000,300000.00000000,300000.00000000,600000.00000000
etc  etc

gdal info output from the xml:

Any help VERY much appreciated,
