r.mapcalc is unhappy because the map name isn't quoted internally
and it can't decide if the map name is a number or a name. I think
the same would happen if you had a "-" in the map name. If you
don't include the @mapset part it still runs, but the result
is no good as isnull(14) is always false if it thinks 14 is a
number.

quick work-around: rename the map to add a letter before the "14".

this bug is hopefully fixed in devbr6 with r48227, after testing
it should be backported to 6.4svn.


I am not sure if "$input" needs to be quoted or not in the
trunk python version:

    #creating 0/1 map:
    grass.mapcalc("$tmp1 = if(isnull($input),1,null())",
                  tmp1 = tmp1, input = input)

?
