I don't think it matters? With quotes it will resolve to real paths sometime later, but LOCATION_NAME never changes, so when/where the variable expansion occurs shouldn't change anything. If $MAPSET were in quotes, then it would create a new DB per mapset, which I do not want, hence hard-coding PERMANENT.

I can't read the URL you sent - I have email but not web browser for another week. But on my local computer grass-sqlite.html manual page says

> [...] the file storage location can be freely chosen.

Suggesting I could hard-code this anywhere I want, even outside of the GRASS folder structure.

  -k.
