This is not correct, I think. The file should be in the
directory where you launch the command or you have to
give the full path.

What do you intend to do with the WATRTOWR.DXF in GRASS 5.0?

A general problem is that you work with data intended 
to 5.7 in GRASS 5.0. The tutorial was written for 5.7.

It doesn't make much sense to use it for 5.0/5.3.
