Yes it is the x,y values. I don't know with paintshop pro, but with photoshop the scale in the y axis was inverse to that used in the game. That is you need to know the height of the map_regions, lets say 156 pixels. These pixels are numbered from 0 to 155. Thus the y value in descr_strat must be 155-y', with y' being the value given in photoshop.
When I had this kind of error message I looked at descr_ground_types file. There the position is about 2x,2y and I looked if the position was in an invalid ground (mountain, dense forest). If not, perhaps the problem is a river or the coast. Try then to move one or two pixels the unit.
I hope this is of help to you.
Cheers.
