As a newbie myself, my advice probably isn't worth much, but it's almost
certainly do do with permissions in the directory. I had this same
problem, even though I was running psql as 'desmond', and the files were in
/home/desmond/sql.
I solved it by placing the txt file into /tmp. Perhaps 'solved' isn't the
appropriate word ... 'kludged', anyone ..? :-)
