--create is not working here because you select a custom format for your
dump. --create is only working with plain SQL dumps.

with the --clean parameter you delete existing objects in hll_redmine
but there are dependant objects. A common way to avoid this is to drop
the whole database first, create a new one and then restore the dump
into it. Means use --create instead of --clean.
Dropping the database can cause problems because you have to cut all
client connections before being able to cut it. So maybe this approach
is not working for you.
Another idea is not to use any of these parameters and dump only the data.
pg_restore -a
