Thomas is likely correct about the quoting. The command programs are
case-sensitive and perform the proper quoting for you when issuing commands;
but when you are inside psql you need to take care to perform the proper
quoting yourself.

WRT grant/revoke keep in mind when you revoke you only remove pre-existing
grants; it does not establish an explicit block on its own. i.e., it
doesn't stop default permissions, or those inherited from PUBLIC, from
applying. You would need to remove those inheritance-granted permissions
and then explicitly grant them back to those who still require them while
omitting those that do not.
