Thanks for the info, will look into what version of Workstation I am running (think I have 9.0) and will see if I can’t get an upgraded copy and see if it alleviates the issue.

This might not be what you're seeing, but there was a hideous bug in the shared folder (hgfs) driver for linux guest OSes that'll silently corrupt your filesystem if it's accessed via more than one filehandle (e.g. multiple opens, multiple processes, ...).
If you're using vmware tools bundled with workstation 10.0.1 or fusion 6.0.2, you have that bug and cannot safely use hgfs mounts for any files, let alone postgresql. (There was a different bug, with similar results, for earlier versions too, including at least fusion 5.0.1). VMWare claim it's fixed in the tools bundled with 10.0.2 / 6.0.3 (I've not tested it). If you're not running the very latest vmware, upgrade to it and install the latest tools (or avoid using hgfs).
Cheers,
Steve
