Regina,

I'm linking to a folder with a zip containing a subset of tiles that
demonstrates my problem, a script to run the commands, and two screenshots.
Note that I'm a PostGIS beginner, so it's possible I'm doing something
wrong!

The issues encountered differs a bit from what I described yesterday, but
the essence is the same.

Best,
Andreas
