postGIS's nearest neighbor with node.js

I,m using postgreSQL 9.1 , postGIS 2.0, nodejs 0.10.12 and the latest version of node's pg module.

I use websockets on the server side. I have two functions. Depending on the data came from the user I call the right function.

First function is a simple SELECT, works fine.

The second tries to find 5 nearest neighbors of a given geometry (it can be point or line or polygon). Does not work. I tried different syntax for the nearest neighbor query and still nothing.

What could be wrong? The query? I was thinking maybe the pg module does not support the ST_DWithin function.

Here is the code of the nearest neighbor function

function checkMapIn(je){
var conString = "pg://username:password@localhost:5432/myDB";

var client = new pg.Client(conString);
client.connect();
//je came from client, is a geometry he just inserted in the map
var query = client.query('SELECT pins.p_name FROM pins ORDER BY pins.p_geom <-> '+je+' LIMIT 5')
//alternative syntax I tried
//SELECT pins.p_name FROM pins INNER JOIN pins ON ST_DWithin('+je+', pins.p_geom, 1000) LIMIT 5 
//SELECT pins.p_name FROM pins WHERE ST_DWithin('+je+', pins.p_geom, 1000) LIMIT 5

query.on("row", function (row, result) {
    result.addRow(row);});


query.on("end", function (result) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(result.rows, null, "    "));

for (var i=0; i<result.rows.length; i++){
connection.send(result.rows[i].p_name+'</br>')          
}

    client.end();
});
}

And this is the error I get , no matter how I edit the synatx of the query

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event 
      ^

Any advise? Hints?

Thanks in advance

EDIT

Here is an example value of the 'je' variable, as "badsyntax" asked. [object Object] I get this if I set connection.send('</br>'+je+'</br>').

Also, this is what I get from openlayers in the client side and what I send to the server. POINT(2332239.3475 4729773.7440625) Weird... On the client side I use openlayers to get the geometry of the feature just inserted on the map.
