I cant get a shell script to work.  This one is supposed to execute
r.in.ascii for several hundred files

#!/bin/sh
for FILENAME in 'ls /u1/copeland/rams3a/van/*00'
do
r.in.ascii input=/u1/copeland/rams3a/van/$FILENAME output=$FILENAME
done

when executed I get the following error message
_____________________________
Sorry </u1/copeland/rams3a/van/PTOTAL-07-15-00> is not a valid option

Usage:
 r.in.ascii input=name output=name [title="phrase"] [mult=value]

Parameters:
   input   Ascii raster file to be imported
  output   Name for resultant raster map
   title   Title for resultant raster map
    mult   Multiplier for ascii data
           default: 1.0
___________________________________

the sorry line appears twice for each file
when I dont have the for loop and instead have FILENAME=PTOTAL-07-15-00
it works just fine.  Ive used a similar for loop construct in non GRASS
scripts before
