Hi Markus

please check in the proj4 epsg-file the definition of 21781. It needs
the +towgs84 parameter:

+proj=somerc +lat_0=46.95240555555556 +lon_0=7.439583333333333
+x_0=600000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=bessel
+towgs84=674.374,15.056,405.346,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs  

The 200 meters shift sounds a bit like a forgotten towgs84 parameter but
that's just a guess. 
Does the Grass ticket still needs some clarification?

regards
Stefan
