I solved the problem when I set the resolution explicitly instead of relying on the defaults in the QGIS interface, when setting the region to subset.
I am typing the commands in a GRASS shell called from the GRASS tools menu,
and attach my steps following p91 of the book. Any suggestions appreciated!Thanks
