Konstantin,
Just back from some time off and read this reply.
This was exactly the issue. The superuser "postgres" did not have this
role since this was a dump/restore/upgrade from postgres 8.4. I just
created a new Role and user, and it all worked!
Thanks!

Sean,
I saw your email on PostgreSQL general list about replication.
We are using 9.1.1 and were having the same issue, unable to setup
replication even though following wiki precisely. I was able to
setup replication following wiki steps using PG 9.0.3, but not 9.1.1.
Then I found this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/role-attributes.html
where it says:
initiating replication
A role must explicitly be given permission to initiate streaming
replication. A role used for streaming replication must always have
LOGIN permission as well. To create such a role, use CREATE ROLE name
REPLICATION LOGIN.
Does that mean "postgres" superuser is no longer able to also be a
replication user in 9.1? If so this is not yet updated on the
Replication wiki.
I went to the master and created a new user specifically for replication:
CREATE ROLE REPLICATOR REPLICATION LOGIN PASSWORD '';
Then changed my master's pg_hba.conf, and slave's recovery.conf to
reference the new user "replicator" instead of "postgres", and I no
longer get the same error, and our replication is working.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
