I have 
select version();                                     
version                                       
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PostgreSQL 7.4.5 on
i686-pc-linux-gnu,compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3.1
 
(SuSE Linux)

I did
set datestyle to 'European, SQL';
SET
select date_trunc( 'day' , now() );      date_trunc        
-------------------------15/03/2005 00:00:00 CET

How did you set your datetype?
