Richard,

   When I stepped back to look at the forest instead of the individual trees
I appreciate that I should have understood this; except I've not before
worked with an external database. Mea culpa!

   Since each mapset has it's own dbf/ directory for GRASS-internal vector
attributes, each mapset needs it's own external database, too.

   g.copy now works.

Thank you,

Rich
