Ummm.. Without being condescending, when you checked for the existence
of .s.PGSQL.5432, did you use a regular 'ls' or 'ls -l', or did you use
'ls -a' or 'ls -al'? I don't know how much unix experience you have,
but I remember the moment I learned about the Unix version of hidden
files...and the associated '-a' option to ls....
