DataObjects: problem connecting to postgres

Hi, Running createtables.php on the command line for my postgres DB doesn't work. It says the db doesn't exists, but the same DSN works fine with DB and MDB. Here's the debug info CREATING FOR pgsql://postgres:xxxx@localhost/sixnet

CONNECT       : NEW CONNECTION
