Then the name of the CSV file has to be part of the content in the file.

Did you read the following?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-copy.html
If so I'm not sure how it is you think the above would work...
1) the column name portion can only contain column names - using AS "data"
is not defined
2) I have no clue where you got CREDENTIALS from
3) the options to copy are all enclosed in parentheses
4) when multiple options are present they are comma-separated
5) What is "IGNOREHEADER"?
6) no "AS" after NULL specifier
I suppose you might be using non-core PostgreSQL but in that case you really
need to share that information upfront. It is also good form to share the
version you are on - though in the case of COPY all of the 9.x versions are
similar in syntax and behavior so unless you are on an earlier version the
conclusions would be the same.
If you are on 9.3 you get considerably more flexibility due to the
capability of using "PROGRAM" as a source/target.
If you actually want help solving the problem you need to also share the
platform you are running on (server and/or client).
