Works here on a Linux machine. Maybe the gzip code is not installed in your
Windows install?  By the way as concerns the -i option, from the docs:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/app-pgdump.html

-i
--ignore-version

    A deprecated option that is now ignored.

So ignore is ignored:)
