I haven't looked at database dump recently, but I believe the problem might be
that you have conflicting object names in 3 databases. e.g. if there are two
table of same name customer but different schema, things will obviously abort.
Assuming you have 7.3.x, you can edit each database dump and put a create
schema statement on top of each dump file and set that schema first in schema
search path. That way your 3 databases will end up in 3 schemas.
If you could tell us the exact errors you are getting that would be more
helpful.
