That right there is your problem. PostgreSQL is attempting to open one
of it's files, and is not getting permission to do so.

The most common reason for this (other than not actually having
permissions) some some sort of antivirus or antispyware software
installed. If you have that, try removing it and see if the problem
goes away. You may also need to reset the permissions on the
directories, if they are broken at that level. Note that just
disabling the antivirus for specific files/directories/processes is
often not enough, you have to actually uninstall it in most cases.
