Primary key duplicated: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (21539) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP (18607)'

Hi all,
I'm getting the "duplication primary key" error
since 2 months ( happen 4 times ), the table affected
is always the same, no power down, no db shutdown, no
strange situation.
This is the scenario:

All morning at 7:10 AM this commands are scheduled:

/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=jobs ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=programs ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/psql -t -c "reindex table jobs" ${DATABASE} 2>&1

/usr/bin/psql -t -c "reindex table ua_user_data_exp" ${DATABASE} 2>&1
/usr/bin/psql -t -c "reindex table user_traffic" ${DATABASE} 2>&1
/usr/bin/psql -t -c "reindex table user_logs" ${DATABASE} 2>&1
/usr/bin/psql -t -c "reindex table current_connection" ${DATABASE} 2>&1
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=last_connection ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=user_traffic ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=transaction_history ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=user_logs ${DATABASE}
/usr/bin/vacuumdb -v -f --table=current_connection ${DATABASE}

all these commands are completed in 27 minutes.
In the attachment you can find these rows:

De manage a service 24/24 7/7 and is very annoing
shutdown the DB, adjust manualy the
dump, drop the db recreate a new one, fill it again....

What can I do in order to avoid this ?

:-(

I forgot to say that the version is Postgres 7.3.2 on Linux box
