Tyler,

   Good catch! That's part of the problem. Now GRASS cannot replace the
variable name, $file, with the actual file name:

WARNING: Illegal vector map name <$file>. Must start with a letter.
ERROR: Vector map name is not SQL compliant

   It's probably referring to the output file name variable. Since there's no
reason to have the GRASS map name different from the DSN, I need to re-learn
BASH syntax for variable references.

Thanks,

Rich
