My guess is that "javier" was the Postgres user in the old database
(and therefore wasn't dumped by pg_dumpall) but you used some other
name for the Postgres user in the new database.

If that's not it, would you show us the initial portion of the dump
file?  Looking at the create user and create group commands it issues
might help.
