Actually, what that is complaining about is that the operating system
refused its attempt to create a filesystem file to hold the table.
It's got nothing to do with permissions inside the database --- there
is something wrong with the filesystem permissions of the data
directory.  Or maybe you started the postmaster as the wrong user
(not the one that owns the data directory).
