It's a whole-USA file that Gerry Creager creates, and I think it has
the complete resolution of the smaller ones you're talking about.

Ok.  For that one you need to go in and add an IMAGESIZE tag to
the .geo file.  It's something that Xastir has required for some
time now.

That means that ImageMagick has no idea what it is.  You need
instead to snag the .jpg or .gif that is specified in the file and
try "display" on that file.

Great.

Permissions look great.

Nope.  Try the IMAGESIZE tag and you should be good.
