ok did some more googling. seems like "grant" is not the strongest
feature of postgresql yet.

for those who follow:
"grant select on schemaname.tablename..." alone works. gotto
explicitly mention tablename via trigger/script since schema privilege
is separate from table privilige.

and "grant usage on new tables in schema..." doesn't exist yet. which
leads to my next question (see
http://svr5.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-01/msg01070.php)- are we
there yet?

also how'd i find access privileges for a schema. something like "\z
schemaname" not "\dp schemaname."?
