Comment (by robe):

 Like dustymugs said, we'd consider that a security hole so wouldn't build
 that feature in PostGIS. The permissions on the OS always run under the
 postgres account, so there is no idea of permissions for the user distinct
 from permissions from daemon account.

 Now that said, if you really wanted to, you might be able to achieve it
 with the the COPY TO PROGRAM (which is only available to postgres super
 user accounts) feature in PostgreSQL
 http://www.depesz.com/2013/02/28/waiting-for-9-3-add-support-for-piping-
 copy-tofrom-an-external-program/

 and then once it's created, attach to it as you did above.
