[Gdal-dev] S57 driver: the second import

Hello!

I have imported a s-57 cell into postgis using ogr2ogr, but now I want 
to import a second cell into the same database. Using the same command 
as the first time lead to this error message:

ERROR 1: Layer ACHARE already exists, CreateLayer failed.
Use the layer creation option OVERWRITE=YES to replace it.
ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed
translation of layer ACHARE

Using -append lead to this errormessage:
FAILED: To find existing layer `BCNISD' on output dataset
         to append new features to.
Bus error

Using -update lead to this errormessage:
ERROR 1: Layer ACHARE already exists, CreateLayer failed.
Use the layer creation option OVERWRITE=YES to replace it.
ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed
translation of layer ACHARE

Is it possible to run ogr2ogr multiple times to import different s-57 
data cells into postgis?

Regards,
  - Tore.
