I try to run v.to.rast of a line in a loop

Therefore I created a short python script, which is working
expept for that I am getting error messages:
ERROR: option<output>:<raster_attribute>  exists.

Here the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import grass.script as grass
import grass.script.setup as gsetup

def main():

    for i in ['FULL_HYDRO','LENGTH']:

        grass.run_command("v.to.rast",

                    output = "rast_"+i,
                    type = "line",
                    use = "attr",
                    column = i)

    return 0

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

Have you tried adding flags = '-o' as an argument to
grass.run_command? That will overwrite the output raster if it already
exists.

I haven't tried yet to use the overwrite option. It'll probably work. It is just that I 
am wondering why these rasters "exist" although all rasters are entirely 
removed from the mapset.

Can you reproduce this behaviour with that script and the North Carolina 
dataset?

I tried in 6.4.2RC2 and in 6.5svn and it works like a charm. Obviously, if I try to run it a second time in the same mapset I get the output exists errors (i.e. I have to manually erase them).
