Have only just installed RH7.2 and pgsql

I'm trying to import an access csv file have already setup db with
necessary columns.

COPY wests from '/home/peter/wests.csv' using delimiters ';';

ERROR: COPY command, running in background with effective uid 26, could
not open file '/home/peter/wests.csv' for reading. Errno = Permission
denied (13).

I can view the file with editors etc. I'v tried su postgres, same result.

How can can I get permission?

Peter
