This should be:

	import grass.script as grass
or:
	import grass.script.core as grass

This is bogus. The keys in the "options" dictionary are the names of
the options defined in the g.parser comments (assuming that you have
them; if you don't, grass.parser() won't work).

I have no idea what's causing this.

I suggest modifying the parser() function to print the arguments which
are being passed to os.execvp():
