Michael, Attempt #1.
You need new lines between type, coordinates, and category lines. echo "P 1 1 583290 4785860 1 1" | v.edit -n tool=add map=sites2 input=- should work. The manual looks correct. I tried to put all three lines in a single line and got the same error. Attempt #2. You need to export to the standard format. v.out.ascii map format=standard. The manual also mentions format=standard. Hope this helps.
