Hard to tell when you haven't provided a complete example.

Just looking at the code you did show, though, I notice that
you have

    PERFORM pg_notify(fac);

but there's no single-argument form of pg_notify in standard PG:

regression=# \df pg_notify
                           List of functions
   Schema   |   Name    | Result data type | Argument data types | Type 
------------+-----------+------------------+---------------------+------
 pg_catalog | pg_notify | void             | text, text          | func
(1 row)

Maybe whatever shim you've got for that doesn't work right?
