[GRASSLIST:6767] v.in.ascii troubles (Grass 6.0.0 on OSX - binaries from ASU)

[Graham Watt-Gremm]

Hello all,
I have been grappling with importing a simple ascii x,y,z utm coordinates
file using v.in.ascii. I have tried all delimiters (, | tab), have run a
mac2unix script on the file, and have even tried converting it to dbf and
placing it in the dbf folder (though the documentation on this is
incomplete). In each of the cases (other than dbf) I received either

v.in.ascii input=/grassdata/zone12.txt output=z12txt1 format=point x=1 y=2
z=0 cat=0 
Maximum input row length: 0
Maximum number of columns: 0
Minimum number of columns: -1

x column number > minimum last column number

Or created a map but with errors and unreadable:

v.in.ascii input=/grassdata/zone12.txt output=z12txt format=standard x=1 y=2
z=0 cat=0
