in grass 6.5 and 7 r.in.gdal has a new -l flag to get around
that. GRASS in lat/lon mode will refuse to accept e.g. +91 as
a valid latitude. If georeferencing does not exist it uses
pixel/cell values as north and east, and if there are more than
90 rows you get an error.

I don't know why, but you will have to fix the gdal_translate
problem. Perhaps just pass it
 src_dataset=/Users/timholland/c_1km
instead of the full .adf filename? check the www.GDAL.org
supported formats page for help with that type of data.
