this sounds like a unix permissions problem.  

look for directories along the path to the .o file that can't 
be read by user postgres.  i.e., if you have made your home 
directory unreadable to other users, the postgres backend process 
can't access your file.  (in most installations, the postgres 
process runs as the user "postgres", not as you.)
