Thank you for your advice Scott, but it will take a while to convert the programs to 8.3.3 version. Is there any permission related or bugs that you can point me to that would cause such behavior.

There are a lot of issues with postgresql's older windows versions, some were so bad that support for anything before 8.2 or so was dropped a while back. I would definitely try upgrading to 8.3.3 and see if that takes care of your problem. the fact that 8.3.3 is much faster and has lots more useful features just makes the upgrade all the more compelling.
