Oops. corrected this one still the same error

Disabling the units instruction gives me scalebar but with
the default unit (in this case meters, I want the scale in KM)

what is the exact error message? (cut&paste)
what version of grass do you use?
what paper size?
what are the region extents?

(it works for me)
