The issue is what the postgres backend can read; the filename given
must be readable by postgres; you can achieve this by the following
Unix command:

chmod a+r /tmp/table1.aa

Then you can use the copy command as above (except that the filename must
be in single quotes):

COPY table1 FROM '/tmp/table1.aa' USING DELIMITERS '|';

\copy does not support "using delimiters"
