I wonder whether your problem is related to this 8.3.8 bug fix:
* Force WAL segment switch during pg_start_backup() (Heikki)
This avoids corner cases that could render a base backup unusable.
I'd suggest updating to 8.3.latest and making sure that you are taking
the base backup according to the documented procedure. The symptoms you
are mentioning could definitely be caused by starting from an
inconsistent backup.
