How did you create the location/mapset?  Sounds like there isn't a PERMANENT
directory for the location with its DEFAULT_WIND, WIND, PROJ_INFO,
and PROJ_UNITS files.  I'm not sure what d.mon has to do with importing the data ??
Perhaps you should run g.setproj for the location?  This is run by default whenever
a new location is created at the start of a GRASS session.  However, if it bails
out for some reason, a location can be created that doesn't have meaningful
projection/region info.
