I've messed with DEMs, though not through GRASS, and have found some 
software is very sensitive to CR LF <=> NL (LF) conversions carried out 
by some transfer methods  The most notorious is going through DOS (MS or
Novell).
  Since the definition for DEMs is pretty strict the extra characters
created could be the problem.  You might look at the USGS (?) documentation
for DEMs and figure out which way they want the file.  (I don't have a 
copy at hand so can't look myself.)
