sorry for the confusion - from what the docs - i am starting out the single user like this.....

postgres --single -D /data/pg_devices postgres

*that connects me to the "postgres" database

postgres --single -D /data/pg_devices n001acs

*that connects me to the "n001acs" database.......

then I am issuing a vacuum command with each session.....   Sound okay?

i'm opening each database when I start up the server ( postgres --single -D
/data/pg_devices /database1/ )

This is not specifying the db to connect to. You need:

postgres --single -D /data/pg_devices /database1/ postgres
