COPY executes in the server process, so this is likely to fail unless
/home/mmm/Documents/accounts-services.csv is world-readable. You
probably want to use psql's \copy command instead.

There's some discussion going on right now about adding a HINT to
this error message to help out people in your situation. If you
feel like bringing a novice's-eye viewpoint to the discussion, it's
