What does your pg_hba.conf file look like ?
If you have "trust" set it permits a connection rand seems to ignore  
the DB you wanted to connect to (which is what my code was seeing)

With this entry
        host    all     all     10.0.1.4/32                     trust

I get a connection to the wrong database

With this entry
        host    all     all     10.0.1.4/32                     password

and the correct password in my RB code it connects to the db I  
originally tried to connect to

So there is still something funky
