I Think I found a problem with OGR datasources linked in using v.external. If I change into a directory with shapefiles and then issue the following to link in the data in "myShapefile.shp":
v.external dsn=. layer=myShapefile output=linked_in And then change into another directory and issue any command that wants to work on "linked_in", e.g.: g.remove vect=linked_in v.info linked_in I get: ERROR: Cannot open layer 'myShapefile' But when I change back into the directoy where I used to be when running the v.external command, it works. So I think v.external should take care to always link to the absolute location of the source in the file system (if I specify "dsn=" as an absolute path, things work fine).
