ERROR: cannot open relation center_out_analog_proc

I was trying to add a column to a table and fill it but ran into a big
error. Apparently now Postgres can't open this table to vacuum or to
select although it does show up when I ask psql to describe the table
(i.e. db01=# /d center_out_analog_proc).

I'm using Postgres 7.0.3 on a PII/400 MHz with RedHat Linux (kernel
2.2.14-5).

The command that started the problem was from the script:

-- Re-arranges the columns in a table
--
-- Tony Reina
-- Created: 6 March 2001

-- The BEGIN and COMMIT statements ensure that either all statements are
done or none are done
BEGIN WORK;

-- ADD THE NEW COLUMN TO THE TABLE
ALTER TABLE center_out_analog_proc ADD COLUMN name text;

-- SELECT the columns from the table in whatever new format you wish.
Place into a temporary table.
SELECT subject, arm, target, rep, channel, name, cut_off_freq,          quality, analog_data INTO temp_table FROM
center_out_analog_proc;

-- DROP THE OLD TABLE
DROP TABLE center_out_analog_proc;

-- MAKE THE NEW TABLE INTO THE OLD TABLE
ALTER TABLE temp_table RENAME TO center_out_analog_proc;

-- FILL THE NEW COLUMN WITH THE CORRECT DATA
UPDATE center_out_analog_proc SET name = (SELECT name FROM
center_out_analog AS a WHERE      a.subject = center_out_analog_proc.subject AND a.arm =
center_out_analog_proc.arm AND      a.target = center_out_analog_proc.target AND a.rep =
center_out_analog_proc.rep AND      a.channel = center_out_analog_proc.channel);

-- VACUUM THE TABLE
VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE center_out_analog_proc;

COMMIT WORK;

When I ran this, I had an error in the UPDATE command (so the entire
transaction aborted). I assumed that becuase the transaction aborted
that nothing would have changed in the db. However, after this happened,
I corrected the UPDATE command but ran into this error when I re-ran the
script:

db01=# \i alter_table_format.sql

When I try to vacuum the table or the database I get:

Likewise, a select gives me:

Could someone help? Apparently something has gotten corrupted.

Thanks.
