I've updated gdal to version 1.3.1 with internal tiff and geotiff support, but the error
dont disappear. But after many tests, i found the reason: the NASA WMS server http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/
dont provide the full dataset sometimes and stops the download bevor the geotiff file is
complete?! Thats the reason r.in.gdal fails. 

Thanks for your answer,
