Hi Nico I have done the same thing. Using OSM data as a base layer (in a DB) and then have added extra layers to the mapserver-utils mapfile. It worked fine for me.
I got had trouble at one point as I was not using the PROJECTION tag in the layer. This fixed the issue for me. Can I suggest you start with a very simple layer to just get it started, then build it up from there. If you copy and paste a large lot in I have found it easy to get lost and hard to find/fix any issues. You can refer to many different map data sources as you need.
