I'm sure I must be doing something foolish, but I've hammered on this for an hour or so, and can't seem to get this to complete. I'm trying to translate a small dataset from a simple set of points and polygons:

                           Table "public.stands"
  Column  |   Type   |                      Modifiers
----------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------
 id       | integer  | not null default nextval('stands_id_seq'::regclass)
 strata   | integer  | not null
 initage  | integer  |
 boundary | geometry |
 location | geometry |
Indexes:
    "stands_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "stands_boundary_gist" gist (boundary)
    "stands_location_gist" gist (location)
Check constraints:
    "enforce_dims_boundary" CHECK (ndims(boundary) = 2)
    "enforce_dims_location" CHECK (ndims(location) = 2)
"enforce_geotype_boundary" CHECK (geometrytype(boundary) = 'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR boundary IS NULL) "enforce_geotype_location" CHECK (geometrytype(location) = 'POINT'::text OR location IS NULL)
    "enforce_srid_boundary" CHECK (srid(boundary) = 32755)
    "enforce_srid_location" CHECK (srid(location) = 32755)

and when I try to populate the location field using the ST_MakePoint() function, I seem to always get the same result:

delete from stands;
insert into stands
select
       tmp_stands.gid as id,
       tmp_stands.strata as strata,
       tmp_stands.initage as initage,
st_translate( tmp_stands.boundary, 500000, 5900000,0) as boundary,
st_translate( ST_MakePoint( tmp_stands.landx, tmp_stands.landy), 500000, 5900000 ) as location
from tmp_stands;

ERROR: new row for relation "stands" violates check constraint "enforce_srid_location"

which I don't understand because when I remove the st_translate(st_makepoint()) command, the boundary translated just fine. In fact, I can't go back and update the locations no matter what values I use. If the points (which are in the middle of the polygons) violate the check constraints, then why do the boundaries translate just fine?
