 There is a failure in interpreting the GRASS paths in Japanese locale:

 {{{
 C:¥Program Files¥GRASS-6-SVN>g.gui help
 'g.gui' は、内部コマンドまたは外部コマンド、
 操作可能なプログラムまたはバッチ ファイルとして認識されていません。
 }}}

 (Rough Translation: "g.gui internal or external command,
 Not recognized as an operable program or batch file.")

 If I change directly into the GRASS binary path, it works:
 {{{
 C:¥Program Files¥GRASS-6-SVN>cd bin

 C:¥Program Files¥GRASS-6-SVN¥bin>g.gui help

 Description:
  Launches a GRASS graphical user interface (GUI) session.
 ...
 }}}

 The paths look like this:
 {{{
 C:¥Program Files¥GRASS-6-SVN¥bin>path
 PATH=C:¥PROGRA‾1¥GRASS-6-SVN¥tcl-
 tk¥bin;C:¥PROGRA‾1¥GRASS-6-SVN¥sqlite¥bin;C:¥PR

 }}}

 The same will apply to Chinese, Korean, various Indian etc. locales.
