It looks like you're running bdr_group_create from the 'postgres' database,
but you're specifying the dbname 'prod' as the database that you're
creating the bdr group for.

You should CREATE EXTENSION bdr; in the 'prod' database and run
bdr.bdr_group_create while connected to 'prod'.

The documentation should be more explicit about the fact that the
management commands affect the database they are run in.

Thanks for writing a clear and detailed report with errors, versions, and
command shown. It's much appreciated.
