How to get r.drain to run in QGIS/GRASS?

I use the GRASS GIS extensions for QGIS (QGIS version 2.12.3 with GRASS 6.4) and I have a problem with the r.drain algorithm: I simply cannot make it work with a given starting point as a vector point.

To put it simple, here is what I try to achieve:

• Insert a cost-raster

• Insert a vector point

• Calculate least cost path

I managed to get it to run when I enter the coordinates for the starting point manually, but since I want to use r.drain in the Model Builder of QGIS, that’s not the solution I am looking for.

Here is the log message:
