sorry, there was a quoting error in the example on the wiki, now fixed.

try again with:

GRASS> gdb `which v.mkgrid`
(gdb) run map=vectgrid grid=12,12 position=0,0 box=1,1 --overwrite


so individual option are parsed. quoting the whole thing has the effect of   sending them all as a single parameter.
