Uwe,

Following up on my own message. When I set PROJ_DEBUG I discovered it wasn't
actually finding a grid file, and for that matter I was running the version
the older version of PROJ that I had installed, not my build version!

However, after pointing PROJ_LIB at my actual grid shift files things do
seem to be working:

cs2cs +proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=NAD27 +to +proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=NAD83
