There's the problem.  Xastir doesn't read .tfw files.  It does read
.fgw files.  See the README.MAPS file for how to create your own
.fgd for each .tif if you don't have one.  You only need a few lines
that Xastir needs, not the entire normal contents of a .fgd.

Here are some examples that do work, so you can verify your
installation:
