The field separatore in psql is used only when the format is "unaligned"
(which does not happen to be default).

In order for it to be effective, you need to type in psql:

\pset format unaligned
\pset fieldsep '\t'

This will give you an output with columns that are separated by tab.

However, I suggest that you look at the documentation for more options
and ways to achive the same results:

Cheers,
