About SRTM: I don't know from where you have your srtm data. You can
grab srtm3 tiles also from http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ (look for the SRTM
Data Search and Download link).

The data are provided in GeoTiFF and are projected in wgs84. So you need
to create a LOCATION for wgs84 and impot with r.in.gdal

(Make sure you select the "JRC" mirror to download the data if you are
in Europe, otherwhise it's slow).
