For reading the personal geodatabase, don't forget that on Windows,
OGR can read the data without using ODBC.

As long as you have an ArcInfo license, the ESRI python to read and
write to the geodatabase is really pretty straight forward.  (it
doesn't run as fast as the OS stuff, but the documentation is better
and the user community is much larger)

What exactly was your data flow again?

attributes and geometries from pgeodb to postgis and then attributes
and geoms back to the geodatabase?
