As André wrote: PROJ.4 version >= 4.6.0 needs a datum specification for 
*both* source SRS and target SRS in order to "make the datum shift".

For PROJ.4, a datum is the definition of an ellipsoid (via +ellps, +a, 
+rf, etc.) in combination with either the +towgs84 or the +nadgrids 
parameter. This could mean in your case: +towgs84=0,0,0 or +nadgrids=@null

+nadgrids=@null is more appropriate as your grid shift file has ETRS89 
offsets (rather than WGS84 offsets, as assumed by PROJ). Practically, 
the difference between both options is in the sub-millimeter range, 
hence irrelevant in most cases.
