"Manually from the console" as opposed to what?

What "entry" do you correct?  In what way?

You don't show any error message which mentions "path" in any way.
Why do you use that word to describe your problem?

One thing I do notice is that you didn't specify a database name on
the command line.  What is your PGDATABASE environment variable
value?  Maybe you just need to add the database name to the end of
your command line?
