map_server error when loading map
I have been trying to do autonomous navigation with a pre-constructed map. I have map files called mylaserscan1503201800.pgm and mylaserscan1503201800.yaml. Here is the move_base_amcl.launch code I use:
<launch>
<!-- Start the map server -->
<node pkg="map_server" name="map_server" type="map_server" args="`rospack find follow_me_2dnav`/launch/mylaserdata_1503201800.yaml" />
<!-- Run AMCL -->

<param name="odom_frame_id" value="odom" />
<param name="base_frame_id" value="base_link" />
<param name="global_frame_id" value="map" />
</include>
<!-- Start navigation stack -->

</node>
</launch>
Before running this, I run another launch file that starts the drivers for my mobile robot, Microsoft Kinect, and depthimage_to_laserscan. When I run the move_base_amcl.launch file, I get the following errors.

Your help in finding my issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
UPDATE:
I noticed that within my mylaserdata_1503201800.yaml file that the image parameter was map.pgm rather than mylaserdata_1503201800.pgm, which I corrected.
I was able to get the map loaded when running it from the command line:
rosrun map_server map_server `rospack find follow_me_2dnav`/launch/mylaserdata_1503201800.yaml
but I was still unable to get it to load from the launch file.
