 In answer about 'function is not unique',

 "The function is not unique error happens if one of your arguments is a
 textual representation of a geometry instead of a geometry. In these
 cases, PostgreSQL marks the textual representation as an unknown type,
 which means it can fall into the st_intersects(raster, geometry) or
 st_intersects(raster,raster) thus resulting in a non-unique case since
 both functions can in theory support your request. To prevent this, you
 need to cast the geometry to a geometry."

 I think the last sentence should be like:

 "To prevent this, you need to cast the textual representation of geometry
 to a geometry."
