Ok, to answer this myself :-) After debugging the grass code, it appears that grass.py was trying to create this <grass7-User Name-16676> directory in a TMPDIR directory that was not there anymore. An old installed (and removed) program created TMPDIR as environment variable pointing to some long (not excisting) path. So the code threw a 'WindowsError' not shown in log or output. Anyway: fixed by removing this TMPDIR variable. We are already (re)setting all kind of env vars isn't it? Maybe also do that with TMP TMPDIR and TEMP ?
