Lorenzo,

As a convenience someone changed r.in.gdal to use band names derived
from the apparent photometric interpretation.  I believe the photometric
interpretation improved between GDAL 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 which is why
changing gets the altered names.

But what does it say in the TIFF file?  It doesn't really matter what it
says in the quickbird specficiation if they produce confusing TIFF files.
What is the "tiffinfo" report for the files in question?

Best regards,
