Comment (by neteler):

I have tried in 6.4.svn:

{{{
GRASS 6.4.6svn (nc_spm_08):~ > r.out.gdal input=geology_30m format=VRT
type=UInt16 output=name.vrt
Exporting to GDAL data type: UInt16
Checking GDAL data type and nodata value
  100%
Exporting to GDAL raster
ERROR 1: Writing through VRTSourcedRasterBand is not supported.
WARNING: Unable to write GDAL raster file
WARNING: Unable to export raster map <geology_30m>
r.out.gdal complete.
}}}

Indeed, the VRT file is generated but without reference to the
"geology_30m" map.

Same thing in GRASS GIS 7.0.3svn. I suppose that it is simply not
supported.
