First, the current package is GRASS_0.1-11, so maybe update, and see if 
that makes a difference.

Your question is whether rast.put() only works with a single R object 
name? No, definitely not, but it isn't always easy to remember which bugs 
existed in versions dating back several years. The *pre* tarfile name 
suggests that you do not have a proper released package anyway.

Finally, it is usual to ask package maintainers questions like this, 
rather than this list - there is also a limited volume mailing list 
specifically for this too: http://grass.itc.it/statsgrass/index.html
