Nope, it does not mean it does not understand it, it means it's not
an exact match for an official EPSG code. It's actually quite common,
one parameter could be slightly different, or the ellipsoid name could
be different.

Forget about the contents of your prj, just check they actually do match
the 24200 definition (same projection, same parameters) and then type in
24200, don't press lookup, generate the bbox, and try again. If you get
your data in the wrong place of the globe again, it's actually quite 
likely your srs is not 24200 or there is a mismatch between the 
coordinates of your shapefile and the .prj contents (again, relatively
common, .prj files are very often completely off).
