This line:

ST_AsText(ST_Transform(the_geom, 4326))

Returns the "coordinates" as utm coordinates. Although, I thought ST_Transform was supposed to convert the coordinates from utm to lat/lon. I found a tutorial where the behavior I need is shown in an example: http://workshops.boundlessgeo.com/postgis-intro/projection.htmlhttp://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/projection.html

Is there any reason why it would not be doing this?
