Are you using Ubuntu and GRASS 6.2.1? Ubuntu uses "dash" as it's /bin/sh
instead of Bash. r.in.wms and friends used bash-specific tricks in them.
This has since been fixed and will appear in future releases of GRASS.
You can recompile from CVS yourself (or just grab the updated scripts*),
or you can edit the existing r.in.wms, r.in.gdalwarp, r.tileset, and wms.*
scripts by hand: change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in the first line of
each file.
