Also, consider using a newer Postgres release.  8.0 and up provide
a cursor pointer so that you don't have to count characters:

regression=# SELECT o.orgunitname AS ouname, e.entrynumber AS value_field, 
centroid(c.the_geom) AS the_geom, c.ogc_fid AS ogc_fid FROM (ctrphc AS c INNER 
JOIN orgunit o ON c.dhs_ouname = o.orgunitname) INNER JOIN (SELECT orgunitid, 
entrynumber FROM routinedataou4 WHERE dataelementid=1195 AND dataperiodid = 86) 
AS e ON o.orgunitid = e.orgunitid) AS new_table USING UNIQUE ogc_fid USING 
SRID=-1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near ")" at character 333
LINE 1: ...taperiodid = 86) AS e ON o.orgunitid = e.orgunitid) AS new_t...
                                                             ^
regression=#

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
