[GRASSLIST:8825] GRASS 6 in a nutshell tutorial

[Luigi Ponti]

Hi there,

while going through the Neteler's GRASS 6 in a nutshell tutorial I get 
the message:

"Cannot open database 
/home/Administrator/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/dbf/ by driver dbf"

when at section 3.1.2. I try to import vector ESRI SHAPE files form the 
package tiger2000_UTM13_nad27.tar.gz, via the "import various formats 
using ogr" option in the GIS manager.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Luigi
