Removing the semicolon gives the same output.
cdx_post=# \d history.client
Did not find any relation named "history.client".
Without actually trying it out myself, I wonder if the final semi-colon on
your command is causing problems - as far as I recall (I don't use psql a
whole lot), you need the semicolon for actual SQL but not for the various
"backslash" commands.
