Seb,

So the difference between the working and not-working commands is in
'dsn' syntax. This looks similar to the bug:

(I have already sent a sample to Brad as he requested)

Is this the same thing? Did you have the segfault? Note that you will
not notice a segfault in GUI (this is really annoying), you have to
issue the suspicious command from GRASS terminal for the segfault to be
reported if it occurs.
