Here is the explain plan of the new query (same as original but with changes to the Date subquery to use ::date instead
ofto_char to truncate the time portion), when it is run after doing these 2 sets first:
set work_mem='8MB';
set enable_nestloop = false;
explain plan (8.4): http://explain.depesz.com/s/tw8
thanks again for the help.

Nice. Can you post EXPLAIN ANALYZE again, so that we can see why this plan
was evaluated as as more expensive before disabling nested loops?
