"-n riopoderoso" is already restricting the dump to objects in
schema riopoderoso, so it doesn't look to me like that -T switch
is going to change anything.
I suspect the problem is somewhere else in your process. Maybe
you are restoring the backup into a database that isn't empty,
but already contains the aspnet*.* tables?
