Comment (by hamish):

 what does "v.db.connect -p incrociata at paolo" say?

 how about "db.connect -p"?

 can you edit the script to make the shebang: '#!/bin/sh -x' and
 post the output?

 I guess it is db.execute making that complaint.
 I notice "driver=${$driver}". does ${foo} act the same as "$foo"?
 ... but db.execute does not have an option list for the driver
 parameter so should not give you one. ?

 hmmm, was [v.]db.connect set to use a hard pathname instead of
 including '$' chars?: '$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/'
 those should stay like $MAPSET and not be exapanded.
