Taking a shot at this but there's something I don't get, why not copy the settings for the jdbc connector and use then do psql --help and correlate the two? Usually, the fact that it can't find the socket means the server isn't started, but because you can connect using the jdbc, maybe it's on another machine. That, too, is a flag to psql when you fire it up.
