Well there is your problem. That is a different search_path and it does
not include the 'public' schema. This would indicate you are connecting
to a different instance of Postgres then in your previous example. I'm
going to bet you are connecting to different ports. I use the following
in my .psqlrc(local psql conf file):

\set PROMPT1 '%/%R%# '

to get the database name and port. I would try that at least
temporarily(at psql prompt) to sort out what/where you are connecting to.
