Smells like a SELinux problem --- you probably need to set the
appropriate security context on /data/pg.  It might even take an update
to the policy ... not sure if the /var/lib/pgsql path is wired into the
policy or if it's just driven off file context markers.  Look for avc
denied messages in the kernel log to get a hint.

Or you could just do "setenforce 0" but I don't recommend that ...
