What OS are you on?
Per:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PEER
"Peer authentication is only available on operating systems providing
the getpeereid() function, the SO_PEERCRED socket parameter, or similar
mechanisms. Currently that includes Linux, most flavors of BSD including
Mac OS X, and Solaris."
