I installed RT on my system just the other day and also had this problem.
It seems that the file used for initialising a Postgres database
(schema.Pg) is actually designed to run through psql, not through
rt-setup-database. To get it up and running i had to let it create the
database, run the Pg script through psql, and then modify
rt-setup-database to skip these two stages (by commenting out the
appropriate lines).
