stuff to check
- file permissions
- your current user is the owner of the mapset files, write permission
  is not enough
- MS Win filesystem on USB drive didn't lowercase some of the all caps
  file names like WIND and PROJ_INFO.
- current filesystem doesn't play any tricks with that either
- it didn't decide to retranslate to CRLF line endings during the copy.
- make a new location by EPSG code or data file, test and compare..
