A first guess is that the two servers are different PG versions
and you are using the same psql to talk to both of them. The
SQL commands psql uses for "\d" and related catalog queries
unfortunately are rather version-dependent, and don't always work
across a mismatched server & psql.
Try "select version()" to check the server version, and do "psql -V"
to check psql's.
