osmdumpis the database that complains.

Your original post had:

FATAL: ·"pg_tblspc/113608/PG. 9.3_ 201306121/18364" is not a valid data 
directory

PG. 9.3_ 201306121/18364 does not look like PG_9.3_201306121\18364.
To me it looks like a case of corrupted symlink(or whatever it is called 
on Windows).
