ok, there have been a number of improvements to r.in.wms to deal with brain dead WMS servers (*cough* ArcIMS *cough*) since 6.2.2, could you try GRASS 6.2.3 or 6.3.0? r.in.wms is enough of a woven mess of modules that it is hard to recommend to just grab the latest version of the script from SVN as there are a number of things to grab etc.
anyway the newer version follows more to the letter of the WMS spec, which means it should [hopefully] work with most WMS servers now.
(ie even those which are not able to deal with http POST data)
it is still not perfect, hopefully someone will rewrite it in a more sane language soon (ie python).

Regrettably, the upgrade to Grass-GIS 6.3 did not work ...<br>
