Please try with GRASS 6.2.2rc1 if you can. I believe this is fixed
there, as well as many other fixes for the script.


see the DRAFT release announcement in CVS:
  http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/web/announces/announce_grass622.html?rev=HEAD

"This release is particularly important for Ubuntu users due to a number
of Bourne shell script fixes."

No, AFAIK it should be solved & working now in CVS.
(maybe we worked through that off-list or in the bug tracker)

Yes, that was the main part of the problem, r.in.wms and friends had
many bashisms. 6.2.2 should be bashism-free (hopefully we found them
all!).
