Actually, I wanted to transform the geotiff to wgs84 utm, but all
methods have failed.
I tried using the FWtools GUI conversion, but I must be doing something
wrong, I can't get it to work. I also tried gdalwarp command line with
no success. gdalwarp does not recognize the original projection for some
reason.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm using a geotiff from California,
Albers Equal Area, NAD83, and coords show as -268867,392264. No
matter what I tried, I could not get the gpx to plot over the
geotiff, even with projection on the fly. I wish I knew how to get
the geotiff in clean.
I see in the EPSG database of projections that there's epsg code 3310
which is Albers Equal Area based on NAD83. If that is indeed the
projection of the geotiff, then you could convert the gps file to a
shapefile, (it will be in WGS84 Lat/Lon, epsg 4326) then use the
fTools extension to convert to epsg 3310. You'll then have a new
shapefile which should overlay on the geotiff properly.
