The \copy is a psql command. You need to use just the word 'copy' without the
leading '\'.

Using:

COPY temp FROM /path/to/result.res

will try and read result.res from a file on the server system. To load a file
on your client system you should use COPY temp FROM STDIN and read the Pg
manpage.

Documentation:

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-copy.html

and

man Pg

search for 'copy' in the second of these to get a good starting point on the
subject.
