It's worth observing that the louder the demands are in the subject
line, the less likely that people are to *want* to volunteer
assistance.

The problem here is that COPY accesses data as whatever Unix user is
running the database, typically "postgres" or "pgsql".

Presumably that user hasn't rights to access the file
"/tmp/logfile.txt". Perhaps that needs to be changed.
