Two problems. 1: you don't grant select on schemas, you grant it on
tables. 2: case folding. If you're gonna use a name "schema_Z" then
you have to quote it, because it's mixed case, not all lower.

Sorry no wildcarding on grant (At least not yet). You need to grant
it for each table. Note that instead of granting it to a user, you
should grant it to a role, then give membership to that role to the
user.
