Your text columns will probably have imported the text "NULL."
From http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/sql-copy.html
"null string
The string that represents a null value. The default is \N
(backslash-N). You might prefer an empty string, for example."
You can choose your own null string with:
[ NULL [ AS ] 'null string' ] ]
