OK, now I get the following error (gdal svn 1.9dev, released 2011/01/18)

$ gdal_translate -of NTv2 -ot Float32  dxy.tif dxy.gsb
Input file size is 400, 400
0ERROR 1: Input and output dataset sizes or band counts do not
match in GDALDatasetCopyWholeRaster()

I had a quick look at the source (gdal/frmts/raw/ntv2dataset.cpp), but 
perhaps someone could point out the error, or where I should look.
