Why do you do this?

No, you normally don't. Unfortunately I know very little about Access
security, but could this problem be caused by pgAdmin not using the
correct MDW file (this an item on my ToDo list)?

To work round it for now, can you remove all security from your copy of
the database just whilst you migrate it?
