I've grabbed this sql script from trolltechs SQL examples..

Well, obviously pg doesn't like the currency format.

Two options, first you can try: 
LANG=C psql -U bitouze template1 -f testdb_pg.sql
If that fails also, remove the "$" and the thousand formatter ","
from all values. You may want to remove the incompleted test database 
beforehand.

Please edit dbpar.py to fit your needs, or create a local_dbpar.py in 
that folder from dbpar.py. 

Note the DB_DRIVER parameter (you need QPSQL7 for pg).

Good luck,
