Here, you ask the string "files" to get each of the whatsoever values
are stored inside the variable $NPPFILES.

1. is there an NPPFILES variable defined already?  Something like

NPPFILES="
file_1
file_2
flie_3"

2. What you actually need to feed the "input=" parameter, is the "files"
term, not the "$NPPFILES".

ok, assuming you are running this from inside a GRASSy session, you
should be, at the time of executing the for loop, inside the directory
where the "list of files" is also present.  I guess you created a file,
say "nppfiles_list".

To be sure, just instruct

cat nppfiles_list

and expect to get the list of files you created.

If that's ok, then it should work, e.g.:

for File in `cat nppfiles_list`; do r.out.gdal input=${File}
output=${File}.tiff; done

Note, instead of "File" it could be any other string you like.

Hope this helps a bit.
