This is a FAQ: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/lsv-faq.stm#5.24

Does the 'listserv' user (whatever identity it is running under in the DBMS)
have the 'create table' permissions as recommended?  If not, then the 'listserv'
user probably doesn't have the privs necessary to create the column.  You may
need to turn on logging on the DBMS side to see what it is doing.  This may also
be DBMS dependent.
