Sorry. Forgot to mention. All are in C:/grassdata. We've checked permissions
and even copied files locally to make sure of ownership. There no problem
USING the maps as long as we type their names into the GUI entry boxes.
There is simply the problem of SEEING the maps in the TclTk directory
listing. 

I simply have no idea where this problem is localized. If someone can
install the new binaries from scratch and test it would be helpful (I'll try
to find someone here to do that too).

I don't know whether it is a particular problem with Javi's machine or a
general problem that binary maintainers can't see because you've installed a
lot of stuff to compile GRASS.

Javi will email me this and I'll forward it on. When we look at details, it
claims a problem with a dll (don't remember which one).

Also getting an error on gdal import complainging about a gcs.cvs file

=====

ERROR 4: Unable to open EPSG support file gcs.csv.
Try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the
directory containing EPSG csv files.

=====

But we have a LOT of these and they seem to be in the right places.

=====

gcs   grass/share/gdal
gcs   grass/grass-6.3.csv/etc/ogr_csv
gcs   C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS
gcs   C:\Program Files\Data Interoperability Extensions\Reproject\epsg

Thanks!
