Ok, false alarm. I can access the database fine.

The problem is that the tcltk dialog doesn't work as expected in some
cases. Right now when I start up, the dialog shows:

Database: /home/steve/grass57
Location: saranac
Mapset: steve

If I click 'Browse' and browse to /home/steve/grass57 and then click
on /home/steve/grass57/.., thinking that I need to go into the directory
to select it, then Database = /home/steve

Then I was picking /home/steve/grass57 as a Location and saranac as a
mapset. And it was saying 'This is not a valid mapset'.

I think that:
* Database browse dialog should be more clear
* The Locations list should not show files and directories that are not
locations
* The Mapsets list should not show files and directories that are not
mapsets
