pgdump (9.2.4) not dumping all tables - Mailing list pgsql-general

hello im trying to dump a complete DB, i've been doing something like this.
(i'm in the process of upgrading from 9.2.4 to 9.3.5)


my current DB looks like this:
  Name    |  Owner   | Encoding  |   Collate   | Ctype |   Access privileges
-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------+-----------------------
 DB  | postgres | UTF8      | en_US.UTF-8 | C     | =Tc/postgres         +
           |          |           |             |                    |
postgres=CTc/postgres+
           |          |           |             |                     |
jp=CTc/postgres

having 171 tables

my dump has been done with this:

 0) su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql9.2.4/bin/pg_dump  -p 5433 -Fc  -v $db >
$backup_path/$db.bkp"

1) then i create the DB (i postgis enable it)
2) and then do the restore with a postgis perl script
    su postgres -c "export
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql9.3.5/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
&& perl /dls/gis/postgis-2.1.3/utils/postgis_restore.pl $baclup_file |
/usr/local/pgsql9.3.5/bin/psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres $db 2>
$backup_path/$db_upgrade_errors.txt"


everything seems to work fine until i noticed that i'm missing 5 tables,
doing a diff on two files i find out which 5 tables are missing, there is
nothing special about this tables except that I noticed some empty fields ,
like this:

 id  | x | y |       name        | placetype |
point_geom
------+---+---+-------------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------
    1 |   |   | Km. 223123 RN-09     |         1 |
0101000020E6100000F75BB76C0C1A57DCasdaas2F40
    2 |   |   | Km. 223120 RN-09     |         1 |
0101000020E6100000ECFCasdasdasd1D3FC122F40

then i try to do an individual dump of the missing tables (which is not so
tedious giving the fact that it are only 5 tables)

but when i see the dump file those empty fields are translated to something
like this :

COPY al_shared_place (id, x, y, name, placetype, point_geom) FROM stdin;
1       *\N      \N *     Km. 223123 RN-09   1
0101000020E6100000F75BB76C0C1A57DCasdaas2F40
2       *\N      \N *     Km. 223120 RN-09   1
0101000020E6100000ECFCasdasdasd1D3FC122F40


so when i do the restore of the table

SET
SET
SET
SET
SET
SET
ERROR:  relation "al_shared_place" does not exist
invalid command \N
invalid command \N
invalid command \N
invalid command \N
invalid command \N
invalid command \N



thanks for your help.

NOTE: is important to mention that my DB is a postgis enable DB, i don't
think this is the issue that's why im asking here because i think its more
an encoding missmatch or something like that.
