Actually, I did double check all components with more than two pins on my circuit (in fact I have made local versions of GSchem symbols for most of them them). But signal diodes are such basic elements that I completely overlooked the fact that there could be an inconsistency between GSchem and PCB. I also do not see any particular reason why this must be so... a diode has only two pins! It can either be right or wrong. I was taught that smart engineers invent tools that do repetitious tasks instead of them. Checking pinout of every element (even one as simple as a diode) on a circuit against a datasheet is certainly a task that is unnecessary if you have the correct tool.
