I always got the same error:

As the error says, you can't have the ':' in the path name.<br>
Try output="\Documents and Settings\Kasutaha\...." without the c:<br>
<br>
Also two more comments-<br>
<br>
You have the output name ending in .shp. This will NOT create a
shapefile. You are creating a GRASS vector named
"vietnam_ne_water_linestopoints.shp". You will then have to use the
module v.out.ogr to export the GRASS vector to a shapefile<br>
<br>
Also, it seems you have the LOCATION and MAPSET as names with
"special" characters "öö". That might be asking for trouble.
Sometimes it will work, sometimes maybe not...<br>
I usually try to keep my grassdata directory with no spaces or
special characters anywhere in the path. Might be overly cautious,
but directory name errors are sometimes hard to find.<br>
