Its getting past the driver manager to the driver in all cases, those
errors are from postgres driver or server.

So when you do

    psql -U asteriskcdruser -d asteriskcdrdb

That does connect you are connecting to a different database, dont you need to change the odbc.ini to have

    Database=asteriskcdrdb

instead of the

    Database=dbname

That you have shown to be in the ini file.
