I think you've either not yet got your transaction counter fixed, or you've got some other problem with sewing the new and old parts of the installation together. One possibility is that your pg_shadow table (which would have been in global) needs to be tweaked; are you sure it's got the right usesysid values for all your users? regards, tom lane
