The real problem is that "ORDINARY KRIGING IN R WITH GRASS6 DATA" is on a 
wiki with no responsible owner or maintainer, and no automatic way of 
synchronising it with current code:

http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_6_Tutorial#GRASS_and_R_kriging_interpolation

The original is not signed, with no attached data sets or location, so we
can't ask anyone to keep it working.  I've added:

(WARNING!! Most of the code quoted here is very out of date, and simply 
does not work for current R/sp/gstat/spgrass6. Untried suggestions 
have been edited in, but without a test location, there is no 
guarantee that they will work! Roger Bivand, 5 April 2007)

at the top of the section, and tried to indicate the worst inaccuracies.
