I just realized that you are loading the postgresql (C-API) backend, so 
it is strange that it is also loading the postgresql-socket backend.  I 
tend to use either the postgresql-socket backend or the 
postgresql-socket3 backend.  Perhaps just try switching backend to see 
if one of the others works? (I recognize that is not really the best 
answer).

We apparently have never gotten the C part straightened out  to be able 
to load the :postgresql backend.  So I don't actually have any 
experience there.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around clsql loading.  The only 
plausible way I could find that might load postgresql-socket when trying 
to connect to postgresql is *default-database-type* being set to 
postgresql-socket.  Please check that variable when you get the error 
and see what it is set to.  Perhaps it can simply be set to :postgresql 
and not have you load the socket backend while trying to load the C-API 
backend.

Sorry I can't pinpoint a reason this would be happening,
