The only thing that I can offer is that it works from inside psql as user postgre but NOT from invoking postgres using -f filename from the commas line as user postgre. I have to admit that I did not use -U as OS user postgres, but that shouldn't be necessary with a stock gnarled_conf file.
The errors are 99% 'illegal command' associated with '\B'day or '\.' ending a COPY command.
