If I copy a set from sde to postgis with:

ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=myhost user=myuser dbname=mydb 
password=************** port=5432" -nln postgis_name 
SDE:SDE,5151,,*******,****,sde_name

then the process works but then it comes with a message
FAILED: layer aready exists and -append not specified, but reports that 
it is trying to copy a completely different layer from the one specified
in SDE. It is a valid sde layer. If I put -overwrite switch in, then 
something even more curious happens. It appears to go through all the 
layers in sde and one by one replaces the postgis layer with each (I 
discovered by interrupting the process or looking at data in postgis).

I am using GDAL from stable version of MS4W, with the sde dlls for 
arcSDE 9.3
