Isn't it "psql" rather than "pgsql"? There's also perhaps a missing step in that, doesn't an empty database need to be created if the database is being dumped, then restored to a new database instance? Few tutorials seem to consider that.

In reply to Craig Weber. You can just use "--clean" in the command.

I'm pretty sure the restore is incorrect. You need to first reset the database instance or else you're just going to get a bunch of "table already exists" and "role already exists" and so on.
