this should be:

r.proj input=dem50 location=my_location
          mapset=topo dbase=/mnt/path_to_my_disk/ output=dem50

If you give it location=/mnt/path_to_my_disk/my_location
it "thinks" that the location is called 
"/mnt/path_to_my_disk/my_location" as the error message indicates:

ERREUR :Mapset <topo> in input location
         </mnt/path_to_my_disk/my_location/> - not found
