Hi Biddy,

If you haven't changed the constraints created on the table by PostGis
this error means exactly that you are inserting a geometry that is not
of the type declared for the numtarclassidreflect column.

To sort this out you have to guarantee that all data feed into that
column is either a multipoint or null. I believe that ST_Multi solves
your problem.
