Hmmm...when I saw that I assumed it was just a matter of message
formatting.  Is that what the query output really looks like?  What
client are you using?  If you run the query in psql then the output
should look like this:

 schemaname | tablename
------------+-----------
 public     | HSI
(1 row)

If the COPY command I suggested in another message still fails with
"relation does not exist" then please copy and paste the output of
the following query:

SELECT schemaname, quote_ident(tablename)
FROM pg_tables
WHERE tablename ILIKE '%hsi%';
