Assuming the v.db.rim output format is valid, I would suggest recoding 
v.report instead. Alternatively, a quick fix would be a simple shell
script to do something like:

<2:37pm> ~# head -4 test.cat
<2:37pm> ~# set last=`tail -1 test.cat | awk -F':' '{print $1}'`
<2:38pm> ~# set i=0
<2:38pm> ~# while ($i <= $last)
while? echo -n ${i}:
while? egrep ^${i}: test.cat
while? end

redirect everything into a new cat file :-)
