John -
Alabama East SPCS as EPSG:26929 is in units of meters, but your GeoTIFF
seems to think it's in feet. This will cause the reprojection to move the
file 3 times further from the CS origin than you think.
It seems like you have a "hybrid" GeoTIFF with one projection definition
and a different EPSG code.
The ESRI-defined code of 102629 is an Alabama East NAD83 Feet projection.
The definition is:
# NAD 1983 StatePlane Alabama East FIPS 0101 Feet
<102629> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=30.5 +lon_0=-85.83333333333333
+k=0.999960+x_0=200000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +to_meter=
0.3048006096012192 no_defs <>
Which is identical to the 26929 definition except for the "to_meter"
parameter.

*Subject:* [Gdal-dev] Alabama geotiff tiles are showing up in Virginia
withinmapserver
Hi,
I have Alabama geotiff tiles which are showing up in Virginia within
mapserver. If you look at the original gdalinfo against one of the tiles
you will see that the corner coordinates are within Alabama, but within
MapServer if you do on the fly projection(EPSG:26929 to EPSG:4326) it
instead shows up within the state of Virginia. I also used gdalwarp to
change the projection from EPSG:26929 to EPSG:4326 and then displayed within
mapserver without having to reproject on the fly and it also shows up within
Virginia. Note: when running gdalinfo on the gdalwarp file which was
reprojected to EPSG:4326 it also has the coordinates within the state of
Virginia.
Below are the gdalinfo dumps first the original file and then the file
that was converted from EPSG:26929 to EPSG:4326
