Well, after having done this, and:

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins
total 36
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        34606 Apr 29 14:32 gdal_GRASS.so

(the script presupposes that the user running it has access to 
gdalplugins)

I still can't see any access:

$ gdalinfo ~/topics/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/cellhd/geology
ERROR 4: `/home/rsb/topics/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/cellhd/geology' 
not recognised as a supported file format.

GDALOpen failed - 4
`/home/rsb/topics/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/cellhd/geology' not 
recognised as a supported file format.

Does GDAL look in gdalplugins by itself? Does it need ldconfig too?
