Are you trying to explicitly specify the tablespace?  If you just let it
default, it should work --- but if you name a tablespace you need CREATE
permission on that tablespace, even if it happens to be the same one
that would be the default choice.

If PgAdmin is trying to specify a tablespace even when you didn't ask
it to, that'd be a bug in PgAdmin IMHO.
