For pretty much all other vector modules, the layer option takes a
number and refers to a GRASS vector layer number. For v.in.ogr, the
layer option is the name, not the number, of an OGR layer. OGR layer
names available in a given dsn are printed with v.in.ogr -l. BTW, one
single kml file can contain several layers.
