It would work if user "pierce" belonged to group "postgres".
Um, I do, I showed that up there.
I was both owner of file AND member of both from and to groups, AND had write access to the directory. still doesn't allow it. CentOS 5.3, btw.
Did you just add yourself to that group? The processes you run will not know you are a member of that group until you logout and login again (open new SSH session, etc.).
When you issue the "id" command (with no parameters), does it include the "postgres" group?
HTH, Filipe
