Does the switch show up in the "make" output?

Er, the file *is* in the current directory, right? Not the mapset
directory or some other directory?

Could you make the following change to r.in.xyz:

     /* open input file */
     if((in_fd = fopen(infile, "r" )) == NULL )
+    {
+	perror("fopen error");
 	G_fatal_error(_("Could not open input file <%s>."), infile);
+    }
 
     if(scan_flag->answer) {
 	if( zrange_opt->answer )

and provide the error message which is printed?
