Well we could try and work out the problem and a solution on the assumption
that the dump is a valid archive or you could confirm that it is first.
Just look at the file. I believe I'm right, but accept I may be wrong, in
saying that the 7.1.3 pg_dump can only generate a script file. So if it's valid
it should look like a script to recreate and load your database. You could
try running it straight into psql as well.
