URGENT: temporary table not recognized?

Hi. I'm using Postgresql 9.0.5, and the connection is made via pgbouncer.

I create a temporary table, and then want to import data into this
table via a COPY command. Yet, this just created table is not being
recognized. What's up?

From my terminal:

mydb=#
mydb=# create temporary table vl (
alias varchar(35)
,dates timestamp without time zone
,referers text null
);
CREATE TABLE
Time: 1.871 ms

mydb=# copy vl from '/backup/data.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS '|';
ERROR: relation "vl" does not exist

mydb=#

Weird! Welcome any thoughts.

Thanks
