I used /home/nglawre since I unzipped the spearfish dataset directly
into /home/nglawre. That is, the full directory of spearfish is
/home/nglawre/spearfish. I suppose this is not the most elegant,
but I am literally only using the sun box for grass and nothing else.

>"location" will be spearfish

done

>"mapset" will be user1

done

The error is;
"Sorry no access to user1

Mapsets in location spearfish
PERMANENT user1"

Which tells me that the mapset exists but I am denied
access.
