That's odd. Where's the array? Subqueries shouldn't result in arrays in
any way, no?

On my Bacula install there are no triggers on the `path' table and it's
a very simple table:

                           Table "public.path"
 Column |  Type   |                       Modifiers                       
--------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------
 pathid | integer | not null default nextval('path_pathid_seq'::regclass)
 path   | text    | not null
Indexes:
    "path_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (pathid)
    "path_name_idx" btree (path)


so I'm a bit puzzled. Just to see, try expressing the query in two steps:

SELECT path INTO TEMPORARY TABLE batch_path
FROM  batch GROUP BY path;

INSERT INTO Path (Path)
SELECT batch_path.Path
FROM batch_path AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Path WHERE Path = a.Path);
