OK, but this error also happens on a German XP if scripts are in
C:\Programme\GRASS-64-SVN\scripts, no whitespace there.

Further on, why would whitespace be a problem when calling scripts
while C modules e.g. in C:\Program Files\GRASS-64-SVN\scripts are
successfully executed from within scripts?

On wingrass, the scripts folder is not included in the path because
there are wrappers for scripts in bin, e.g. bin\v.db.addcol.bat, which
are supposed to be called instead of the scripts themselves in the
scripts folder. My wild guess is that this has something to do with
the reported error.
