I realised maybe I shouldn't use my username, when I saw the script defaults
to the name "osm"
Maybe the --user-name option  should be removed, then people like me won't
make stoopid miskakes :-)

Unless you have as much as me in your home directory :-)

After waiting many hours for the planet file to download, I discovered the
script could not find 
osm2pgsql. 

I fixed this by adding the line :

export
osm2pgsql="/home/ian/svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/osm2pgsql.py"

and changing the two occurrences in the script with $osm2pgsql. A real hack
I know, but it works for me :-) 

Cheers, Ian
