If I can offer a possibility, it may be that the TIFFs are already GeoTiffs.
The TAB may be a red herring. Try using GDALINFO and see if the TIFFs can be
used directly.

Donal,
There have been other discussions of roughly this topic either here or
on
gdal-dev recently. You might want to take a look. Generally speaking
you can write a script that will translate the .tab files into .wld
files
or use them to attach gcps to the .tif files using gdal_translate.
You may also find you can convert them into proper GeoTIFFs with
MapInfo.
But currently gdal won't do it all for you.
Sorry,
