pg_restore - invalid file problem

From
Ralph Smith
Date:
In preparing to upgrade, (a long story), of our version 7.4 database cluster,
I'm trying pg_restore using the file from pg_dumpall, also version 7.4
into a virgin install of PostgreSQL 7.4 on Ubuntu.
Postmaster is up and running (c/o ps -ef)

The error I get:
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive

Where should I start looking for sources of the error?

Thank you!
