AFAIK this can only happen if you have open transactions in parallel
with the VACUUM FULL.  Killing off the open transactions should allow
the VACUUM to complete.  See today's "Still getting VACUUM errors"
thread over in pgsql-admin.

BTW, if you cannot update to 7.3, at least update to 7.2.4 --- there are
some pretty nasty bugs in 7.2.1.
