This suggests that the x-terminal-emulator does not work the way it is 
called.

Try running the command in the terminal command line of any existing 
location (e.g. spearfish60), i.e.:

g.proj -c georef=$filepath location=$fileLocation

where you replace $filepath with the path to the georeferenced file and 
$fileLocation with the name of the location you wish to create.


Which terminal is your x-terminal-emulator ?
