I just noticed a potential source of the problem:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

/sw/* = Fink.  Even tho it's not in your PATH in GRASS, something is  
looking for some software from Fink.  From v.db.addcol, the test for  
awk is:

which awk

maybe it is 'which' that is failing to even run, not failing to find  
awk.  Try 'which awk' from a new Terminal window.

Also, what is the PATH outside of GRASS?
