What version are you running?

I had to drop the extra references constraints to other tables that
weren't given, but had no problems with the creation on the rule once I
did so, given creating a prod_data_bak that didn't have any of the
references constraints (or the primary key) and it seemed to work for me
(using my 7.3.4 system)
