We found the problem. I did some additional digging and learned the
admin in question was trying to trigger on a schema.table that didn't
exist! Yeah I did slap him around a bit ;-)

remembering the schema part of the name can be important!! ::grinz::

One further question, so we're doing inserts from a remote source (it's
a radware system feeding us data). Why would it stop the system from
inserting data when it's an after statement? I noticed a bunch of
'connection time out' messages in our logs.

It is working so I'm good. Still it is interesting the feed just
stopped when the trigger was enabled.

Thanks!
