Sounds like a case-sensitivity/quoting issue. I suggest carefully
reading the rules for quoted and unquoted identifiers explained here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS

The executive summary is in the last line: "you are advised to always
quote a particular name or never quote it". I think you probably
created the table using a quoted identifier for "senha", except with
some other capitalization than that.
