[GRASS-user] v.out.ogr: properly identifying map/table

There is a postgres table named 'wrb_boundary' but grass knows it as 'wrb.'
When I try to export it as a shapefile I fail:

v.out.ogr in=wrb type=area format=ESRI_Shapefile out=basin_bnd.shp --o
DBMI-PostgreSQL driver error:
select * from wrb where 1 = 0
ERROR:  relation "wrb" does not exist
LINE 1: select * from wrb where 1 = 0

DBMI-PostgreSQL driver error:
select * from wrb where 1 = 0
ERROR:  relation "wrb" does not exist
LINE 1: select * from wrb where 1 = 0
                       ^
ERROR: Unable to describe table <wrb>

So I tried again:

v.out.ogr in=wrb_boundary type=area format=ESRI_Shapefile out=basin_bnd.shp --o
ERROR: Vector map <wrb_boundary> not found

If the solution is re-naming the map from wrb to wrb_boundary what syntax
should I use to avoid breaking things?

Ideas appreciated,

Rich
