Sorry, couldn't pass this one up. I have successfully used v.in.arc under both
4.0 and 4.1 - it's just a little *tricky*. Specifics have been posted to both
this list and esri-l several times; let me know if you need a copy.

v.in.dxf works, but doesn't import attributes for line data. Not the best way
to go, unless no attributes are involved.
