Dear Glynn,
maybe the problem is the format of the hard disk. I use a partition
formatted in FAT32 for Windows and Linux. I will try the script opration
on the Linux partition.
Best regards
Niels

Niels,
Do the file names contain an underscore '_'? GRASS doesn't like that.
Hyphens ('-') seem to be OK.
There are no problems with underscores in map names.
[However, if you're writing a shell script, you need to bear in mind
that underscores are allowed in variable names, so "$foo_bar" means
the value of the variable named "foo_bar". If you want the value of
the variable "foo" followed by the literal text "_bar", you need to
put braces around the variable name, i.e. "${foo}_bar".]
The characters which aren't allowed in map names, mapset names, etc
are:
/ " ' @ , = *
plus space (32), control characters (< 32), delete (127), and 8-bit
characters (>= 128).
On Windows[1], the following characters are also prohibited:
\ : ? < > |
[1] The prohibition also applies when using DOS/Windows filesystems
(FAT, VFAT, NTFS, SMBFS/CIFS) on e.g. Linux.
In r.mapcalc, a map name needs to be quoted if it contains any of the
following characters:
^ # ( ) [ ] + - % > < ! & | ? : ; ~
