Sorry for CC,

psql -h 192.168.133.15 -l
List of available databases :

Name | Owner
-----------------+----------
template0 | alf
template1 | alf
otherdb | alf

Directory base :

[alf(at)cpa-linux3 base]$ ll
total 24
drwx------ 2 alf alf 4096 mai 23 07:36 1
drwx------ 2 alf alf 4096 mar 28 15:39 16555

Can you connect to database template1 ?

what does "psql -l" gives? eg in my case it gives
psql -h 192.168.0.11 -U tradein -l
List of databases
Name | Owner
-----------------+----------
access_log | tradein
rt2 | postgres
sysstat | tradein
template0 | postgres
template1 | postgres
tradein_clients | tradein
(6 rows)

are you sure the database "test" existed while the filesystem backup was
taking place.
howmany folders are existing inside /var/lib/pgsql/data/base currently?

each folder there corresponds to one database in my case eg it is
[root(at)system11 base]# ls -l
total 48
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Apr 29 01:55 1
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Apr 29 01:55 16555
drwx------ 3 postgres postgres 28672 May 23 16:11 378968
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Apr 29 02:07 378969
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 May 21 16:18 7865515
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 May 23 20:36 8990396
[root(at)system11 base]#

do such folders exists in your case?
