no, it is probably just fine. you get that because there is no ~/.grass7/rc file existing yet so the last mapset and location used is <UNKNOWN>. Yes we need to clean up the new startup script, but bear with us, 7.svn is still the in-development version.. :) the fix is easy, just point it to an existing mapset: $ grass70 ~/grassdata/spearfish60/user1 then it will be happy. If it continues to complain about no GUI available (it shouldn't) use the g.gui module to set the default to "text". I expect that we'll change/improve the GRASS_BATCH_SCRIPT logic in 7, but that's still mostly on the TODO list.
