Forgive me for asking the obvious question, but are you ending your
commands with a semicolon? Psql doesn't try to do anything until it
gets the semicolon.

pgAdmin III will execute SQL without the semicolon present, although
it will not let you do multiple SQL commands at the same time without
seperating them by semicolons.
