This one does work in the sense of selecting out the wrong host but it
still produces nothing but NULLs!

SELECT h.id, r.id, r.start_date, r.end_date
   FROM hosts h
     LEFT JOIN (reservation_hosts m INNER JOIN reservation r
         ON m.reservation_id = r.id
         AND (r.start_date,r.end_date) OVERLAPS
('2009-04-09'::date,'2009-04-10'::date))
       ON h.id = m.host_id
   WHERE h.id NOT IN (
     SELECT m.host_id
     FROM reservation r, reservation_hosts m
     WHERE r.id = m.reservation_id
       AND m.host_id IS NOT NULL
       AND (r.start_date,r.end_date) OVERLAPS
('2009-04-09'::date,'2009-04-10'::date)
   ORDER BY h.id, r.start_date)
