recordsep is for the character _between records_.  But the cr/lf you
have in the data is inside your records.

What you probably want to do is to experiment with the regular
expressions facilities of PostgreSQL, and use the text-manipulation
functions to get rid of the cr/lf.  Or, you could edit the dump file
using, say, sed, and then import the data again.  Obviously, you also
need to fix the PHP.
