Actually we are dumping from b2 to b2. Also the problem doesn't seem to
be 
related to the data or missing data. I can infer this because I am doing
a schema only dump. After I import this dump i create some test data and
still run into the relation 0 does not exist error. I think it has
something to do with the way the dump defines the foreign key
constraints and triggers. Thanks again for the help.
