I believe your problem is simply with the case of the table name. You might
want to try \d mirrorhosts. If the table was created "MirrorHosts" (which
it looks like it was) postgresql will store that name and you will be
required to reference it like that.
I believe there is something in the docs about case sensitivity, but I cant
seem to find it now.
