The -c switch causes pg_restore to try to DROP every object it's about to
restore. If you're restoring into an empty database then this is useless,
and in fact will not work if you're also using --exit-on-error. Remove
one or the other switch.
Now, if you expected that all the objects do exist in the target database,
then it might be worth inquiring a bit more closely into what's happening.
