Just tested and I cannot confirm this problem with any of the currently 
available versions (6.3RC1, cvs of of Nov. 1, current cvs). So, it seems 
to me that this is a specific issue in Ravi's installation. Where is his 
GISDBASE ? Is it on his machine or is it a networked drive ? Have you 
tried this with the spearfish data ?
