Thanks for the hint. This, however, does exactly the opposite.
Statistics of raster based values controlled by a vector file. I have
the values in the vector polygons and I want to calculate the statistics
based on the pixels of a raster map.

What I did was basically convert the vector map to a very fine raster
file and then use the function
r.resamp.stats
to calculate the values for the wanted coarse resolution.

Cheers
Sebastian
