A role is both a user account and a user group in the database server.
It'll be defaulting to your operating system username. Try using:
"c:\program files\9.1\bin\psql" -h localhost -U postgres
development-pgs < dsYYYYMMDD
To tell it to use the postgres role (the default superuser). If that's
not the correct role, then you'll have to find out what is from your
end as that's specific to your installation and the way it's been
setup.
