David,

If you do not provide an 'srs' value for a <Layer ..> in your Mapnik XML then 
the srs will be inherited from the <Map ..> 'srs'. In your case your Map is 
correctly in Spherical Mercator but your data looks to be in WGS84, or 
EPSG:4326. So, try changing your layer entry to look like:

  <Layer name="plots" srs="+init=epsg:4326" status="on">

When I do this things appear correctly when overlaid on top of OSM tiles (when 
rendered with TileLite).

It appears like your data is at:
