createuser is just a script that calls monitor, so it obeys
the same environment variables (PGPORT, PGHOST, etc.)   if 
monitor works and createuser doesn't, that would indeed be 
pretty strange.

i've run into some strange situations with nfs on suns (using 
regular mounts, not even using automount) in the past.  it got 
to the point where i just gave up and started running all tests 
on suns on local disk.  the symptom was similar -- you'd start 
a postmaster, things ran fine interactively, then you do "bmake 
runtest" in regress and you'd get "database regress does not 
exist" or somesuch.  moving onto a local filesystem cleared the 
problem up for me..
