try drop table mytemp; and then recreate mytemp. The existence of mytemp in your data directory indicates that it has already been created. Make sure no other object is named mytemp? Try a different table name?

After that point, if I try to create that table after that I get the "ERROR: cannot create XXXXXX" message. At least the pattern has emerged. Thanks for looking into it. I don't suppose there's a place I can look for postmaster error messages? I haven't seen anything written to my system log files. Bruce Tong | Got me an office; I'm there late at night.
