Hi:

I'm cc'ing the GRASS list, since someone else may have additional ideas.

Most likely you will want to add here: g.region rast=kkTest
This insures that the computational region is the same as the imported 
tiff.
If you don't set the region to the raster's extent then you'll get the 
"black blank" image you mentioned below.

As far as I know, r.out.tiff is just a simplified version of r.out.gdal. 
When you use r.out.gdal you have more options available, In particular 
there's the "createopt" option, So you can do:
r.out.gdal in=kkout out=d:/kktiffTest,tif 
createopt="INTERLEAVE=PIXEL,TFW=YES"

g.mapset is the command to change the location or mapset within a GRASS 
session

See above.

Just delete the whole location directory.
