Thank you for your reply, the procedure code (which I posted in the original post) already utilizes the Execute
statment.
Here is the weirdest thing. The error only occurs in the query window
that I originally wrote the code in. If I open another query window
(I'm using PGAdmin III), I can run the code a number of times with no
error. (In short there is no problem restraining me from what I am
doing, it just threw me for a loop for a while.)

You were doing the creation of the temporary table in a function. Did
it go wrong on the very first execution in a session or only on the
second and subsequent executions?
If the latter, try using EXECUTE in the function, so that the statement
is reevaluated each time.
