Hamish,

   I'm missing something important which is probably obvious to you and
others. The project location contains vector maps. My reading of the
v.in.region man page tells me its function is to "Create a new vector from
the current region." That suggests that the resulting output map is the same
as the displayed vector map but with a new name.

   If I then run v.proj on the display of the new map what have I changed?
More importantly, how does that help resolve my inability to run r.proj on a
DEM map and reproject it to the project's location?

   A clue stick would help.

Thanks,

Rich
