Well, an 8.4 dump isn't always going to be compatible with an 8.3
server, is it? If there weren't differences, the version number wouldn't
have changed.

Try using the 8.4 pg_restore (but keep the "-i" to tell it to ignore the
version checks). You may still see errors, but there is a good chance it
will work.

You're also restoring into the "postgres" database here - is that what
you meant to do?
