Does it help if you download
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/elhyphen/GRAhyph4.tex
save it somewhere in the TeX tree, run "mktexlsr" or "texhash"
(whichever works) and run the command again?

(I don't find the other file on CTAN.)

It usually helped if I uncommented some lines in cont-usr.tex
(cont-usr.ori copied into cont-usr.tex if it doesn't exist), such as
    \installlanguage [\s!sl] [\c!state=\v!start] % slovenian
but I don't see "gr" or "agr" there.

Does it help if you add the following two lines there
    \installlanguage [\s!gr] [\c!state=\v!start]
    \installlanguage [\s!agr] [\c!state=\v!start]
and rebuild the formats?
