(database is the full directory path to the directory spearfish is in)

You just want a new mapset.

try (in 'grass5 -text' mode):
LOCATION: spearfish
MAPSET:   matt
DATABASE: /home/grass/

as /home/grass/spearfish/matt doesn't exist, it'll make it & off you go.
It is really simple once you figure out what it wants. ;)

UTM, zone 13, but you don't really have to know that to set up a new mapset.
