I am in a similar situation, where I am simulating on different cluster
nodes and have spatial results in a GRASS database. I simply created a
template grass database, and copied it to the nodes (I actually linked the
PERMANENT mapset, as it containes several GB of data and is read only).

If you want to, you should be able to consolidate all mapsets in one final
location, i.e. copying then under a unique name ito the location (I just
leave them as separate gras databases).

Cheers,

Rainer
