Comment(by neteler):

 In GRASS 7 it is intended to use --overwrite instead of the old -o flag.

 Indeed, r.mask --help lacks
 {{{
  --o   Allow output files to overwrite existing files
 }}}

 I don't know why - to be fixed.

 Sidenote: GRASS 6 where both should work I had to fix it:
 r51452 (for GRASS 6.4.3) and r51453 (GRASS 6.5).
 The module will now accept both -o and --overwrite.
