Since sequences are inserted by default in serial columns, just change
your insert to this:
INSERT INTO "test" ("Subject", "Body", "DTS", "Archive") VALUES
('test', 'this is a test', '2003-05-20 16:30:42', '0')
It looks like phppgadmin is trying to quote something that is already
quoted. If the insert was without the doubled double quotes, it would
also work.
But it's easier to just let the database do it.
Oh, and you should upgrade to 7.3.x, there are some known issues with 7.1
and before. The minimum version of postgresql you should be running would
likely be 7.2.4. 7.3.2 the best choice right now though, in my not so
humble opinion.
I.e. let the database insert it for you.
