Thanks, Radim

That dit it. I tried to integrate cygwin as much as possible with
windows, so I set my cygwin home dir to the one
under c:/Documents and settings... obiously parts of grass doesn't like
to write to a file with a space in its (or parent dirs) name.
Moving home to /home/<username> and it worked great.
