That coin has been spent, getrawtransaction only returns on txn which are not entirely spent unless you run with txindex=1.

Aha. good to know, thanks! Maybe the error message could give a clue about that so newbies wouldn't have to bug y'all with such matters.

Did you try running with txindex=1 ?

In bitcoin-0.8.6-linux your command returns right transaction

I would like to know why this occurs:
The transaction ID is 0437cd7f8525ceed2324359c2d0ba26006d92d856a9c20fa0241106ee5a597c9. This is the only transaction for block index 9 of the bitcoin blockchain. It also fails like so:
Other blocks work fine. So what is special about block index 9? I see it on blockchain.info. Does that mean that my copy of the blockchain is incomplete? Bug in bitcoind?
