I hadn´t noticed the port number. I have 2 versions of PostgreSQL running on the same server, that is why I am using port 5433 for the second one.
Thanks.

Um ... 5433 is not the default port number in a standard build. Unless you've built with that chosen as the compiled-in default, this invocation of pg_dump will be trying to connect to port 5432, and therefore will not use that pgpass entry.
