I think what you need to do is:
$ initlocation $P
^
$ createdb indybook -D $P
^

Subject: [GENERAL] Question about databases in alternate locations...
Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure I'm just
overlooking something, but what?
======================
moran:/acct$ id
uid=1007(postgres) gid=1003(postgres) groups=1003(postgres)
moran:/acct$ export P=/acct/pindybook
moran:/acct$ initlocation P
The location will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
Fixing permissions on pre-existing directory /acct/pindybook
Creating directory /acct/pindybook/base
initlocation is complete.
You can now create a database using
CREATE DATABASE <name> WITH LOCATION = 'P'
in SQL, or
createdb <name> -D 'P'
from the shell.
moran:/acct$ createdb indybook -D 'P'
ERROR: The database path 'P' is invalid. This may be due to a character
that is not allowed or because the chosen path isn't permitted for databases
createdb: database creation failed
moran:/acct$ ls -ld pindybook
drwx------ 3 postgres postgres 512 May 16 09:40 pindybook
moran:/acct$ ls -l pindybook
total 1
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 512 May 16 09:40 base
moran:/acct$
======================
Thanks...
