There's one harmful parenthesis here.

What is dbRoles? first time I heard of it.

PostgreSQL itself doesn't send back an error. It just adds a WARNING
message in its log:
WARNING: no privileges were granted for column "NewColumn" of relation
"tblTest"
For the record, pgAdmin doesn't show WARNING message (for example, I
think you'll agree we don't want to bother the user with auto creation
of sequence when a user adds a column of pseudo-type serial, or with the
auto creation of index when a user adds a primary key).
BTW, Dave hacked a quick patch during char(11) this summer to display
such notice. This will be a nice addition to the next release. But in
the meantime, there's nothing I can do.
