Thanks, that did it, well at least I found what the problem is, the
installations of 6.1.cvs and 6.2.1 have somehow been mixed up, and I am
told that libgrass_gis.6.1.cvs.dll and libgrass_I.6.1.cvs.dll can not be
found... They are both where they've always been
(/usr/local/grass6.1.cvs), but for some reason grass 6.2.1 looks for
them rather than for the corresponding 6.2.1 files it should be using
(those files are also present (in /usr/local/grass.6.2.1)). A bit
strange, since d.vect is also using a lot of 6.2.1 dlls which it finds
without any problems and d.rast is using libgrass_gis.6.2.1.dll.

I could of cource purge my old grass 6.1.cvs installation, but I am a
bit reluctant to get rid of something that works for what I am doing...
