Forget that .........
I have fixed it ...

This is what the RAQ owner said to me after I fixed it ....

"I bet that was me!!! When i wanted to transfer the database files from the
server to my hard drive i had to change the permissions as it wouldn't let
me download. So i used the chown command but also i put the -R in there"

Silly me didnt think to check that they were still owned by postgres.

Sorry for the post
