psql does tell me that I changed the field separator to "#", but it
still uses "|" as separator. I'm parsing the script from bash, using
psql, and setting the field separator options on the command line, but I
get similair results, the field separator is always "|", so I need to
awk-it with -F, but sometimes I have problems because data in my tables
often contain "|" charachter.

You'll want this too:
  \pset format unaligned

man psql or see the manual for full details
