This is showing that the second createdb call is failing with the error
that there is an open connection to template1. In your case I wonder if
even though the "createdb management" client has exited allowing the code
to proceed to "createdb test" call, the backend associated with this
connection may not have completely shut down yet.
What happens if you add a sleep 5 call in between the createdb calls?
