The framework I am using is PGSQLKit for Mac OS X for which the source was 
available and which I downloaded and altered since. Actually it gives you 
access down to the pqlib calls.

The connection being closed was one of the issues. I had added convenience 
classes with class methods to the framework. The connection was kept in the 
background with its credentials and settings in place, but only opened on a 
per-request basis and closed afterwards which I changed now and now it works.

As to mixed case, no, it was all lower case, but using terminal for 
verification I had taken this into consideration so for listener and notifier 
to match.
