What operating system user is the program running as? What connect
string are you using now (the previous one was erroneous)? Does
pg_hba.conf have an ident map that would allow the operating system
user to connect to the specified database as the specified database
user?
If you're not sure how to check pg_hba.conf then see the "Client
Authentication" chapter in the documentation, in particular the
"Ident-based authentication" section:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/client-authentication.html
