[GRASS-user] Can't import shape files

[mohannbr]

Hi,
 
   I use postgresql driver for GRASS. I have GRASS 6.2.2 installed in my
comp. with 'host=localhost,dbname=grass60test'.
When i try to import .shp files using v.in.ogr , i get the error...
ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xae
HINT:  This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
How do i correct it???

Sometimes i get the error ...
A datum name nad27 (North_American_Datum_1927) was specified without
transformation parameters.

Non-interactive mode: the GRASS default for nad27 is
towgs84=-22.000,157.000,176.000.

Projection of dataset does not appear to match current location.

I overcome the above error using -o flag.but then while displayin the img,
get the error...
"The bounding box of the map is outside the current region, nothing drawn"..
I tried importing some 30 sample shape files and am desperate for a
solution. please help.
