What it probably means is that this:

svc:/application/database/postgresql_83:default_64bit

is pointing  at a different instance of Postgres than this:

pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -l postmaster.log start


My guess is if you search for postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf you will find more
than one copy of each and that the copies that are not in /var/lib/pgsql/data
are the ones being used for the svc start.
