 Doesn't seems to be that problem (note that $GISBASE contains a space)

 {{{
 GRASS 6.4> db.describe -c --q table=archsites driver=dbf
 database="C:\Users\landa\grass data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/"
 D2/5: dbDbmscap(): opendir [c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass64 release\dist.i686-
 pc-mingw32\driver\db\]
 D2/5: dbDbmscap(): opendir [c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass64 release\dist.i686-
 pc-mingw32\driver\db\]
 D2/5: dbmi_client/start startup: [c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass64 release\dist.
 i686-pc-mingw32\driver\db\dbf.exe]
 D2/5: DBF: db__driver_open_database() name = 'C:\Users\landa\grass
 data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/'
 D2/5: db.name = C:\Users\landa\grass data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/
 ...
 }}}

 But

 {{{
 GRASS 6.4> db.describe -c --q table=archsites driver=dbf
 database="C:\Users\land
 D2/5: dbDbmscap(): opendir [c:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS-64-
 SVN\driver\db\]
 D2/5: dbDbmscap(): opendir [c:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS-64-
 SVN\driver\db\]
 D2/5: dbmi_client/start startup: [c:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS-64-
 SVN\driver\db\
 Bad file descriptor: Files
 }}}
