For the 3 postgres database initialization commands (after 'su - postgres'), I have found that it is necessary to paste the commands in one at a time, for some reason. I recommend trying that. It sounds like your database isn't properly initialized.
I would start over and run all 3 postgres database scripts again. It will wipe out everything already done in the database. You could see some errors like "this database already exists" or something, which is fine.
