It works on my v6.4:
select insert_test2(1,'My name','My comment');
insert_test2
------------
1
(1 row)
select * from test2;
trk_id|trk_nm |trk_comp
------+-------+----------
1|My name|My comment
1|My name|My comment
(2 rows)
Any way try to cast values as:
select insert_test2(1::int2,'My name'::varchar,'My comment'::varchar);
