Thomas,

   For the record, running this pushed me to the correct syntax:

   UPDATE waterchem
     SET easting = s.easting
         northing = s.northing
   FROM sites AS s
   WHERE waterchem.site = s.name;

   The target does not want the table name repeated; postgres looks for a
column named 'waterchem.easting'.

Regards,
