The LOCATION should have the same owner and permissions as $PGDATA - that
should catch mistyping.

Unless you're running as root, of course. In which case you clearly know
better than everyone else, so off you go!

Presumably I'm using this to deal with performance/space issues, so there
clearly needs to be something in the pg_stat_xxx system to show figures based
on tablespace - not sure what you'd measure though - disk I/O, number of
nodes?

Perhaps something in contrib/ too - tablespace_disk_usage.pl or some such.
