so I tried moving to the /home/becca/.grass6/addons/scripts/
and running (./r.out.kml) getting this message:

final error message (from terminal ./r.out.kml) didn't come
through on last email, sorry.
you get that when the script is in a path which isn't in the
$PATH. the scripts/ dir in addons was a left-over from a
previous broken wxGUI g.extension.py try. If you simply move
it into /home/becca/.grass6/addons/ (and that is what you have
GRASS_ADDON_PATH set to) it should run ok.
when you run a script it has two passes: the first one makes
the GUI and checks the options, then g.parser re-runs it with
those options. If it isn't in the PATH then g.parser can't find
it on the second pass.

can you pull the window wider so that the version number doesn't
get cut short? (& where did the package come from?)
so close...
yes, you are. for what it's worth, for shell scripts you can
always just grab them from svn,
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass6/raster/r.out.kml
put the file somewhere in $GRASS_ADDON_PATH by hand, make sure
it has 'chmod a+x g.modulename' execute permissions, and install
it like that. For compiled C modules, it takes a bit more work..
