[GRASSLIST:5556] v.in.e00, v.in.ogr problems

Howdy all,

I'm new to GRASS coming from an ESRI background. As such, I have quite 
a few coverages and resultant
.e00 files to bring into GRASS. Most of the coverages were created on a 
Solaris/UNIX box though some
were created on Windows box. I'm trying to bring these onto a Mac 
running 10.3.x with the Grass 6.0beta
binary install.

At first I was trying to import the .e00 files directly using v.in.e00. 
I've seen on the list that there is a bit of a
problem with that. Therefore, I used AVCIMPORT to generate coverages. 
The problem now is that when
using v.in.ogr with the coverages, I get an ERROR: Cannot open data 
source.

Mapset <scale100k> in Location <US_dd_NAD83>
GRASS 6.0.0beta1 > v.in.ogr dsn=/volumes/wooster/test/rail1 output=rail 
layer=ARC type=line
ERROR: Cannot open data source

I originally thought it might be a permissions problem. However, I 
opened all directories and files to 777
with the same result.

The odd thing is that v.in.ogr works fine with coverages created on the 
Windows box.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
