Actually I found a few more places where I used /home/postgres
instead of /usr/local/pgsql. To make things clear (and for reasons
below) I have attached a new version of the file.

Turns out that it has to be '> {dest} 2>&1' for it to work, at
least with bash. So, to reduce confusion on fixes to this file, as I
stated above, a new version is attached. It is tested to work and I don't
see any thing more that is non-standard. Though if you still see problems,
feel free to point them out. :) Thanks and TTYL.
