Have you tried using gdalinfo on your server using the GRASS-dataset?

e.g.
gdalinfo /var/www/cgi-bin/vc/valles/modis/PERMANENT/cellhd/MT3VG_2006_186_1521_250m_NDVI.rc
 
It seems that your GDAL on your server-maschine does not understand the
GRASS 6 format, but I may be wrong.

this seems to be the old libgrass-driver?! Perhaps someone more
knowlegdable can comment on this?

this seems to be the correct GRASS-driver.
