One option is to try running the grass63.bat file rather than
grass63.sh. IIRC, the shell-based startup has some problems under
MSys.

Once you've started GRASS, you should be able to start the MSys shell
from the command prompt with e.g.:

        c:\msys\1.0\bin\sh

MSys' sh.exe is bash.

The r.tileset and i.spectral scripts use some bash-isms, and so start
with #!/bin/bash. These would need to be changed to use #!/bin/sh, but
should work in MSys.
