Your using a 7.2.x database or 7.3.x?

The file segments you have shown look like the 7.2.x format but the
error message looks like something you would get out of a 7.3.x database
(7.3.x added a user portion).

If 7.3.x, try:

# TYPE DATABASE USER    IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK         METHOD
host   gforge   gforge  127.0.0.1  255.255.255.255 trust


If 7.2.x, did you HUP or restart the server after making changes to the
file?
