Doh, I should have thought of that.

Well, I loaded and dumped and reloaded this schema in 8.1 without any
problem, so I'm still baffled.

Looking back at your original message, you say

>> $ pg_dump -F c -s -d database-server mydb > mydb.schema
>> $ psql -d mydb < mydb.schema
>> <error about users_idx not existing>

There are several obvious things wrong with that (eg, psql cannot read
-Fc format dumps) so I suppose it's an editorialization on what you
really typed.  Perhaps the problem is hidden there.  Can you show us an
*exact* transcript of a failing session?
