Comment:

 {{{
 msys GRASS 6.4> ls C:\Temp\*
 ls: C:Temp*: No such file or directory
 }}}

 the problem is that "\" has special meaning in a bourne shell, so when
 used litterally needs to be quoted. What you have done is quoted the w, m,
 and e characters in your filename and so the resulting string is
 C:wdmgelev.xyz, and apparently you don't have permission to write to your
 C:\ directory from that user account.

 this should work without "quotes":
 {{{
 GRASS 6.4> r.stats -1gn elevation > C:\\wd\\mg\\elev.xyz
 }}}
