You may prefer to use r.series for some of this. In 5.3, compile by hand
by changing into the src/raster/r.series directory and running gmake5
and gmakelinks5. (add -i to install to /usr/local/grass or whatever if
needed)  It's compiled in 5.7 by default.

If you need to sum many maps (say 365) you'll have to make some
adjustments to the code and recompile GRASS. see:

It should be really useful for daily totals and sums of those daily
totals into monthly totals.
