GRASS 6.0 you have to get rid of the first line, GRASS 6.1 you can use
"skip=1" to save the column titles to the map history, or start the 
line with a '#' to skip past it.


v.in.ascii in=your_points.txt out=new_map x=1 y=2 skip=1 \
  columns='UTMEast double, UTMNorth double, LandUse int, Soil_textr int,  Soil_moist double, NDVI double'



"columns" names are optional, but useful. DBF DB only lets you set 
column names as 10 characters long, no spaces. Each point will be
assigned its own category.

query with d.what.vect to check
