Comment:

 Hi,

 your vector/pointdata/dbln file looks like this:

 {{{
 1/raw.TxDOT crash pointdata cat $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/ dbf
 }}}

 the layer name (raw.TxDOT crash) is not allowed to have a space in it with
 GRASS 6. In GRASS 7 the separator becomes a "|" instead of a space so they
 are allowed there. GRASS 6 can read dbln files with "|" as the fields
 separator, so you might try to edit it by hand to:

 {{{
 1/raw.TxDOT crash|pointdata|cat|$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/|dbf
 }}}
