raster2pgsql and shp2pgsql are not links to pg_wrapper. The error you
are getting is exactly what I get if I try to call pg_wrapper
directly, but raster2pgsql works because it is installed and exists as
an executable in /usr/bin.

Remove the link to pg_wrapper figure out why raster2pgsql isn't
installed. How did you install PostGIS 2? What OS? Is shp2pgsql
installed and working? If it is, is raster2pgsql available in the same
directory? etc.
