Sorry, I misunderstood you. I can reproduce your error as well. It seems to be
a problem with how the module is called by the GUI (it is called via the "run"
procedure and not "execute" like v.surf.idw). I think it might be because of
the mention of the authors of the module...not sure.

Please file a real bug report at http://grass.itc.it/bugtracking/bugreport.html.

I'll leave this one to those knowing the module better than I do.
