Ray,
I think we tried that and I think it works but not for us. It may work
for you.
MS wants to copy all the tables over with exactly the same names
including [dbo]. and so on.
When it doesn't find an exact match, it wants to create the table. This
may be ok for you but
I am not sure what it does about mapping datatypes. This is controlled
in my program by precreating the
tables with the desired mappings. (we have mostly found what works but
it can be changed easily)
We have over 400 tables and as they are related, they need to be loaded
in a particular order.
I control this with a file of table names (dropped out of the conversion
program)
The data copy is only a few scripts largely based on FreeTDS. (do a
google, I won't post a link here)
So give the Enterprise Manager a try. It may work for you. I think we
only had to install a Postgres odbc driver.
My program(s) should be available soon (few days I figure) when I get a
place to post it.

Sounds reasonable what you say. We will give Enterprise Manager a try
tomorrow, and if it does not work for us, I will hope your tool will be
published soon.
Funny, that there isn't such a tool yet.
