Thank you. I found the error. It was the order of the fields in the index.
I do not rember seeing that the order made a difference in the indexing. It
is logical now that I think of it.
I for the life of me could not find where in PgAdminII I could set the order
of the fields in when creating an index so I did it by hand.
Thanks again.

I found this in Admin.pdf
3.4.1. Planner and Optimizer Tuning
page 37/38
ENABLE_SEQSCAN (boolean)
Enables or disables the query planner's use of sequential scan plan
types. It's not possible to
suppress sequential scans entirely, but turning this variable off
discourages the planner from using
one if there is any other method available. The default is on. This is
mostly useful to debug the
query planner.
