partition queries hitting all partitions even though check key is specified

Hi all;

I cant figure out why we're scanning all of our partitions.

We setup our tables like this:

Base Table:

CREATE TABLE url_hits (
id integer NOT NULL,
content_type_id integer,
file_extension_id integer,
"time" integer,
bytes integer NOT NULL,
path_id integer,
protocol public.protocol_enum
);

Partitions:
create table url_hits_2011_12 (
check (
"time" >= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2011-12-01
00:00:00')::int4
and "time" <= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2011-12-31
23:59:59')::int4
)
) INHERITS (url_hits);

CREATE RULE url_hits_2011_12_insert as
ON INSERT TO url_hits
where
( "time" >= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2011-12-01 00:00:00')::int4
and "time" <= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2011-12-31
23:59:59')::int4 )
DO INSTEAD
INSERT INTO url_hits_2011_12 VALUES (NEW.*) ;

...

create table url_hits_2009_08 (
check (
"time" >= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2009-08-01
00:00:00')::int4
and "time" <= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2009-08-31
23:59:59')::int4
)
) INHERITS (url_hits);

CREATE RULE url_hits_2009_08_insert as
ON INSERT TO url_hits
where
( "time" >= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2009-08-01 00:00:00')::int4
and "time" <= extract ('epoch' from timestamp '2009-08-31
23:59:59')::int4 )
DO INSTEAD
INSERT INTO url_hits_2009_08 VALUES (NEW.*) ;

...

the explain plan shows most any query scans/hits all partitions even if we
specify the partition key:

explain select * from pwreport.url_hits where "time" >
date_part('epoch'::text, '2009-08-12'::timestamp without time zone)::integer;

Anyone have any thoughts why we're scanning all partitions?

We do have constraint_exclusion on:

# show constraint_exclusion;
constraint_exclusion

on
(1 row)

Thanks in advance...
