no access to GRASS

Hello comerades

After successfully damping the spearfish data into GRASS this is the
message I get any time I try to get into GRASS:
****************************************************************
Sorry, no access to <<PERMANENT>>
Mapsets in Location <Spearfish>
-----------------
PERMANENT
note: you don't have access to any of these maps

HIT RETURN
*****************************************************************

On hitting return, the program returns me out of GRASS. I am just
wondering if any one of you have experienced this problem. If yes,
then I will appreciate any help to get around this problem. I don't
share GRASS with anybody. The program is on my own PC and installed
in LInux. Thanks in advance.
