[GRASS-user] Region doesn't match EPSG

[Rich Shepard]

When I invoke grass using a location and PERMANENT map set, and try to
re-project a raster file to it, grass rejects the action because the map to
be transferred has greater boundaries than the target mapset.

The location was created with EPSG:6884
name: NAD83(CORS96) / Oregon North
ellps: grs80
proj: lcc
lat_0: 43.6666666666667
lon_0: -120.5
lat_1: 46
lat_2: 44.3333333333333
x_0: 2500000
y_0: 0
no_defs: defined

Starting grass in that location and the PERMANENT mapset I find this region:
g.region -p
projection: 99 (NAD83(CORS96) / Oregon North)
zone:       0
datum:      ** unknown (default: WGS84) **
ellipsoid:  grs80
north:      1
south:      0
west:       0
east:       1
nsres:      1
ewres:      1
rows:       1
cols:       1
cells:      1

What did I do incorrectly? And, how to I fix it so I can reproject the map
to the project's region?

TIA,

Rich
