Ok,
I didn't think you could do a restore as a non-superuser. I had
executed the command on the remote(cygwin) machine in this case. I
didn't specify a user to have it run as on the windows side (thought it
would default to postgres).
On the cygwin side I did execute it under a non-superuser domain
account.
When I first saw all the \N errors I thought it was a unix to windows
end of line character conversion error.
Thanks for your help.
