Adrian, et al.:

That's what I've done. This time I commented out the BEGIN; line:
bustrac=# \i insert-law-offices-addr.sql 
INSERT 0 66

There are no errors in the file but when I tried running it as a transaction
it failed.

I have not before used transactions when inserting or updating tables; I'm
surprised that starting the transaction from the psql command line chokes
the attempt.
