Thanks for confirming the above. However, per my follow-up email (see 
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2011-July/030366.html), 
I am not getting the interior rings as polygons. They are coming out as 
LINESTRINGs. Shouldn't the indivdual components of the MULTIPOLYGON be POLYGONs?
