[GRASSLIST:6341] more v.in.ogr errors with mysql backend

[Chris Fonnesbeck]

I thought I had this working, but it appears not. I am using 6.1cvs
with the mysql driver to import a few shapefiles. However, although I
seem to have specified the db connection correctly (db.tables -p
provides a list of tables), I get an uninformative protocol error when
I try and import any shapefiles. Thus, the following:

v.in.ogr dsn=./ layer=cities output=cities -o

gives this debug infomation (DEBUG=5):

(I replaced my true password with xxxxx). I'm not sure, for one, why
it starts listing other databases not associated with this location.
Any help is most appreciated.
