v.dig.spline - Help needed

I have an NRCS friend in Chicago (w/o web access) who has experienced
problems with v.dig.spline... I believe v.dig.spline was contributed
by the NRCS, and is included in the NRCS (or SCS) source code, but
*we* don't have it compiled here.... So, anyone feel like helping
a GRASS friend in need? Please feel free to contact me, or "the friend
in need" :

Mary Beth Quyst, NRCS -Chicago (630) 505-7819

As for the problem, She receives the following at the command prompt:

error at line 1
unexpected parentheses

thanks in advance,
