For me and Bill it is a known problem.
src/CMD/generic/GENGIS.sh has the path to mknod hardcoded, which
IMO is a bug.

Unfortunatly the baylor developers didn't pay much attention on
my and Bill's patches.

no idea on that one. 
Are you sure that the exact paths exists?

Note that the GRASS5.0b source was subject to unnoticed change.
You should check if you have the last on from the Baylor ftp site.
(Look at the date and the size.)

IIRC v.digit should be superceded by v.digspline, but I did not
seriously try to run one of thoses.

I hope these few clues are useful to you.
