Most likely because the user you are using (appears to be postgres
from the prompt) is not the owner of file (and database). This would
be the case if initdb was run as a different user than postgres. Run
"ls -al" to check. So your options are to change the ownership of the
files, or run as the user which already owns them. Something like
sudo -u username /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/
