You need to grant access to the sequence.

test=# \d foo
Table "foo"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------
key | integer | not null default nextval('foo_key_seq'::text)
name | varchar(40) | not null

test=# GRANT ALL ON foo_key_seq TO nobody;
CHANGE
