 I have a vector map named '''pointdata'''. I can confirm this because if I
 run '''v.in.ogr''' against a PostGIS database with '''output''' set to
 '''pointdata''', the command's output is:
 '''ERROR: Vector map <pointdata> already exists'''

 Yet when I run '''g.remove pointdata''', I get:
 '''Removing raster <pointdata>
 Raster map <pointdata> not found
 <pointdata> nothing removed'''

 But then you may say, "Hey, moron, that's a vector layer! Use the right
 command." OK, I ran '''g.remove vect=pointdata''' and I get:
 '''Removing vector <pointdata>
 DBMI-DBF driver error:
 Unable to open database <cat C:\Users\Aren Cambre\Desktop\DEEM
 documents\GRASS\DallasCountyCrashes\Crases2\dbf\> by driver <dbf>
 Unable open database <cat C:\Users\Aren Cambre\Desktop\DEEM
 documents\GRASS\DallasCountyCrashes\Crases2\dbf\> by driver <dbf>
 Unable to find table <crash> linked to vector map <pointdata>
 couldn't be removed
 <pointdata> nothing removed'''

 I've attached a copy of the mapset in concern.

 This is for GRASS GIS 6.4.1 (that option not available in the
 '''Version''' dropdown).
