First, ensure that $GISBASE/scripts isn't in the path if you're
running native Windows applications. Second, ensure that $GRASS_SH
contains the path to MSys' bash.

On Windows, each shell script in $GISBASE/scripts should have a
corresponding batch file in $GISBASE/bin. The batch file invokes the
script via %GRASS_SH%, which should contain the path to MSys' bash.

Also, start by trying to run scripts with arguments which don't
contain spaces or quotes. It's possible that we haven't got that case
correct yet (or that you need to do something within R to deal with
this).
