Tom,
Actually, I'm using postgresql beta2 and my replication process is
connectiong to my primary (or backend) at 5432 via the connect_info line
of the recovery.conf file.
I had already saw that the error is identical if I merely connect
directly to the primary and issue the command "IDENTITY_SYSTEM", so it
seems to me the primary (or backend) is not treating the IDENTITY_SYSTEM
command as "Streaming Replication Protocol", but I'm not sure why it
would anyway as I've connected to thesame port psql does.
