The second argument to G__put_window has to be an "element", i.e. a
directory in the current mapset. r.in.gdal uses "../PERMANENT", which
works because the element is simply concatenated onto the path to the
mapset directory.

I suggest that you adopt the same approach, i.e.:

	G__put_window( &window, "../PERMANENT", "DEFAULT_WIND" );
