You probably rolled back a DROP TABLE operation, so the underlying table
file on disk is gone but the catalog structures have been preserved.
You could probably try
touch $PGDATA/base/db1/test1
and then drop the table.
Consider upgrading to the latest stable release (7.1.3) when you get a
chance to eliminate this class of problems.
