Duplicate key

Hi all,

I am having a problem with PostgreSQL 7.1.3 using Redhat 7.1 and it is the
following: I have a program I am making in C++ that is sending four simple
insert commands to postgres and I keep getting an "ERROR: Cannot insert a
duplicate key into unique index dbshpawb001"(this is what I see when I put
postmaster in debug level 4, see attached file.) the inserts are:

insert into dbshpawb
("courier_id","pos_shipper","pos_recipient","manifest_no","pos_sender","bill_
no","pckg_no","status","cap_user","cap_time","cap_date","upd_user","upd_time"
,"upd_date","pckgs","container_no","package_no","real_weight","weight_units")
values('2','3','5','25','3','234','1','A','29','08:55:01PM','03/12/02','29',
'08:55:01PM','03/12/02','1','1','1','10','P');insert into dbshpawb
("courier_id","pos_shipper","pos_recipient","manifest_no","pos_sender","bill_
no","pckg_no","status","cap_user","cap_time","cap_date","upd_user","upd_time"
,"upd_date","pckgs","container_no","package_no","real_weight","weight_units")
values('2','3','5','25','3','235','1','A','29','08:55:01PM','03/12/02','29',
'08:55:01PM','03/12/02','1','1','2','4','P'); insert into dbshpawb
("courier_id","pos_shipper","pos_recipient","manifest_no","pos_sender","bill_
no","pckg_no","status","cap_user","cap_time","cap_date","upd_user","upd_time"
,"upd_date","pckgs","container_no","package_no","real_weight","weight_units")
values('2','3','5','25','3','236','1','A','29','08:55:02PM','03/12/02','29',
'08:55:02PM','03/12/02','1','1','3','20','P');insert into dbshpawb
("courier_id","pos_shipper","pos_recipient","manifest_no","pos_sender","bill_
no","pckg_no","status","cap_user","cap_time","cap_date","upd_user","upd_time"
,"upd_date","pckgs","container_no","package_no","real_weight","weight_units")
values('2','3','5','25','3','237','1','A','29','08:55:02PM','03/12/02','29',
'08:55:02PM','03/12/02','1','1','4','90','P');

the table structure is:

CREATE TABLE "dbshpawb" (
"courier_id" int4,
"pos_shipper" int2,
"pos_recipient" int2,
"manifest_no" int4,
"pos_sender" int2,
"bill_no" int4,
"status" char(1),
"cap_user" int8,
"cap_date" date,
"cap_time" time,
"upd_user" int8,
"upd_date" date,
"upd_time" time,
"pckgs" int2,
"container_no" int2 default 0,
"package_no" int2 default 0,
"real_weight" real default 0,
"weight_units" char(1),
"pckg_no" int2 default 0
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "dbshpawb001" on "dbshpawb" using btree (
"courier_id" "int4_ops",
"pos_shipper" "int2_ops",
"pos_recipient" "int2_ops",
"manifest_no" "int4_ops",
"container_no" "int2_ops",
"pos_sender" "int2_ops",
"bill_no" "int4_ops"
);

can someone please shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Omar Carvajal
