Error linking GeoTiff file with r.external

[huhabla]

I receiving an error while trying to link a geotiff file with r.external into a spearfish60 location. The file was previously generated with r.out.gdal. The import of the same file with r.in.gdal works without problems. The error message of r.external:

ERROR: Missing type: field in file
       '/home/soeren/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/cell_misc/test/f_format'

Here the workflow:

GRASS 7.0.svn (spearfish60):~ > g.region rast=elevation.dem@PERMANENT
GRASS 7.0.svn (spearfish60):~ > r.out.gdal input=elevation.dem@PERMANENT format=GTiff type=Float64 output=elevation.30m.tiff -c
