You appear to have missed a key step.

The WinGRASS package tries to bundle Python, which causes problems if
you want to write Python scripts for GRASS. You should remove both the
bundled Python and any references to it.

Place the script in %GISBASE%\bin. The script itself will work
regardless of its location, but the code which generates the wxPython
parameter dialogs requires the script to be in the path.
