Since nabble didn't propagate the error to the list (at least for me),
here a copy:


r.in.gdal input=../GRUMP/ESRIGRID/tha_grumpv1_pdens_00_grid_30/thauds00ag/w001001.adf
output=w001001
ERROR 3: EOF encountered in ../GRUMP/ESRIGRID/tha_grumpv1_pdens_00_grid_30/thau
ds00ag/../info/arc.dir after reading 0 bytes while trying to
read 32 bytes. File may be corrupt.
ERROR 4: Failed to open table thauds00ag.VAT
Raster map <w001001> created.
r.in.gdal complete.

The error is related to GDAL: Perhaps
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2447
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3031

Your GDAL version GDAL/OGR: 1.9.2
(Platform: Linux-3.2.0-31-generic-pae-i686-with-LinuxMint-13-maya)

is perhaps a bit old. Any chance that you update to GDAL 1.11.x?
