\di won't display indexes

Hello,

The following psql transcript shows that \di and \ds commands do not
show output, but that specifying a table explicitly (av_parts for
example) does show the layout of my table as well as the indexes I
expected to see. To make matters more confusing, my queries are
extremely slow, so it appears that the indexes actually DO NOT EXIST.

My Questions:
How can I get the \di and \ds options to work?
How do I verify that the indexes do exist?

BTW: We're running PostGres 6.5.3

=========================================================

parts=> \di
Couldn't find any indices!
parts=> \ds
Couldn't find any sequences!
parts=> \d
Couldn't find any tables, sequences or indices!
parts=> \d av_parts

Table = av_parts
