Although this could be made to work properly I'm sure that it
doesn't at present - not for what you are trying to do anyway.

I had been ignoring the MPS file and thought it wasn't much use
(since gmapsupp.img will work without one) but for getting family
name and id correct it is essential.  Now that I realise I can
make it work.

As Clinton says, you probably need to set a discription for
each tile.
