Does it work if you run the script using its full path, i.e.:

 c:\osgeo4w\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0svn\scripts\m.dipslope.py --help

?

You could try modifying etc/python/grass/script/core.py to print the
arguments which are passed to g.parser.

The code attempts to determine the script's full pathname, as g.parser
needs this so that it can open the script to read the #% comments
(PATH won't help here).

It appears that this part is where the problem lies. If the script is
run with --help or --ui, g.parser doesn't get around to re-invoking
the script, so that isn't an issue.
