</Users/kurtsprings/grassdata/NH-UTM/PERMANENT/sqlite/> is a
directory, not a file. For sqlite, the database must be a file, e.g.
sqlite.db. For dbf, the database must be a directory, e.g. dbf/

db.connect driver=sqlite database="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite.db"

should fix it, check with db.connect -p, the result should be
driver:sqlite
database:$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite.db
