that is a completely different package, for help you should ask on
the pgf mailing list

That cannot work, the syntax of \psforeach is
\psforeach{\name}{<list of numbers>}{ command }

this should work:

  \newcommand\insertfigure[1]{%
     \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{#1}%
  }%

  \begin{document}%

  \psforeach{\name}{1,2}{\insertfigure{Name\name}\endgraf}%

You do nit need to specify the extension if you do not have files with
the the same base name and different extensions. TeX already takes the 
right one.
