Looks to me like you are trying to use 7.3 psql to talk to a 7.2 or
older server. This will mostly work, but a lot of backslash commands
now use syntax that the older server won't understand (such as schema
prefixes, which is what causes the startup error). Usually you want
to use a psql of the same vintage as the server.
