[GRASS-windows] Georectify problems

[Ken Mycock]

Thanks for that.  I should have said that I restarted GRASS in the 
source mapset to run i.rectify

I tried i.rectify again as you suggested (removing @PERMANENT from both 
the group and the map fields.  It ran a little further and then threw 
the same error as the georectify tool -"bad format in control point file 
for group [Orig_Inc in PERMANENT]"

I thought it would pick up the target from the annotation in the POINTS 
file?

I'll log a bug when I'm sure it's the tool and not me!
