The only thing that is different since this has started is that I started a new database in another tracking program. I get this window.

Something has removed this file from the hard drive. Have you run any programs on your computer that deleted files of 0 kb? I've seen this kind of errors when users have done this. Even though the file may have been 0 kb, it's still needed by PostgreSQL.

When did you last do a backup of this database?

I dont know of any files being deleted. I just got this computer so there are only like 4k hands in this database right now so Im not worried about losing those hhs. Do I have uninstal and reinstall pt now?

I would just start a new database then, hopefully this file that was deleted wasn't a PostgreSQL system file.
Go to the File > Maintain Database Names window, click the Add button, enter a description and select "Create new, empty Access database" from the list in the last field. Now use the Utilities > Convert Database window again to convert this new db to PostgreSQL and then try to import into that afterwards.
