[pgpool-general: 2405] pgpool error

[Gray, David W]

I am trying to set up a test system, looking to get pgpool running in load balancing and replication modes. We have an extensive grid processing system that the database serves as a backend for. I am getting a consistent error, that has proved to be a show-stopper:

>From pgpool:

statement: COMMIT

statement: SELECT count(*) from (SELECT has_function_privilege('measure',
'pgpool_regclass(cstring)', 'execute') WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM
pg_catalog.pg_proc AS p WHERE p.proname = 'pgpool_regclass')) AS s
Jan 14 10:04:57 dayrheocrq003 pgpool[19528]: do_query: error message from

The versions:
pgpool v3.3.2  compiled 1/10/2014

PostgreSQL 8.1.23 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-51)

I had found similar errors via google, but nothing quite exactly like this.

Please let me know what other information I can provide?
