here you need to use

No,
execGRASS("v.mkgrid", flags="overwrite", parameters=list(map="grd",
grid=paste(as.integer(100), as.integer(100), sep=",")))
Error in doGRASS(cmd, flags = flags, parameters = parameters) :
Parameter <grid> does not have integer value
because doGRASS() checks the type, and with c(as.integer(100),
as.integer(100)) would concatenate correctly with a comma.
I see (if possible, could we have the debug output of R?).
The problem is in the wrong setting of grid->multiple as NO, which simply
isn't examined from the command line. The wxpython GUI version has exactly
the same problem.
For me it works in GRASS 6.5 wxGUI, also in the (current) 6.4.svn.
The problem is that the GRASS parser adopts an illogical view of
multiple=NO, and overrides it when there is a comma in keydesc. This means
that I am obliged to make parseGRASS() even more byzantine than before, to
admit multiple integers and floats where multiple=NO and the length of the
R object of the correct storage mode is > 1 (strings can be obfuscated in
the way you suggest). I'll try to mimic the IMHO very bad behaviour of the
parser.
Couldn't multiple take values YES, NO, or the integer count required if
the count is known, as here? multiple=2 would be easy to parse.
Repeating, the 6.4 wxpython menu entry Vector -> Generate grid is broken
for me 6.4.0svn, but not current, because the widget for entering grid
only accepts a single integer (as per --interface-description).
In current 6.4.0svn the widget has been changed to a text widget, so
that's why it works, but does not check for integer:
v.mkgrid --overwrite map=...@rsb grid=99.3de,101.5abc
also runs, probably by rounding to integer.
I'll try to work around the parsing muddle, but will check that the values
given are both integer.
