Well, part of the problem seems to be that I was addressing a symbolic link to the file and not the actual file itself.
Now that I'm addressing the file directly, BOTH files manage to create the geo transform BUT NEITHER can generate the coordinate transformation object (OGRCoordinateTransformation) . Can anyone tell me why both files give me the following message...? ERROR 1: No PROJ.4 translation for source SRS, coordinate transformation initialization has failed. I am using Linux SLES10 SP2, gdal-svn-trunk-2009.12.14 and proj4-4.7.0-1.
