I saw a table that wasn't there

My problem reminds me of the poem "I saw a man who wasn't there".

I created a table some time ago.  When I try to drop it it says "no such
file or directory".  When I run vacuum or copy out it also says it isn't
there.  However, when I try to create a table with the same name it says
the table already exists.

I'm running Postgres 6.5.2 on Red Hat LINUX 6.1.

I'm learning as I go along, but this is not making it easy.

I saw the table again today.
I really wish it'd go away.
