Hi,

In order to use your raster image, you need to import it into a location with 
the same reference system as the raster. It has probably a projection other 
than the spearfish data set. That's why you get the error message from 
r.in.gdal.

Once you have imported your raster into a location other than spearfish, you 
can use r.proj to import your raster image into the spearfish dataset.
