I looked at the transactions.txt file and the update_date had only the
YYYYMMDD portion. The Postgresql docs indicate that is a valid format
for the date function. But there was no time portion. So I added one to
make the format follow the postgresql docs (the same one you used, but
minus the .mmmmmmm) and it barfed on restarting with the same error (I
forced a reload of the transactions.txt file. There were only 4 entries
as this is still a test setup). Of course it goes away when I modify the
dbconf settings to use varchar(23) instead of timestamp.

Hmm. This is data that was written by IC and it is invalid.
