I'm a noob too, but I think I can help in this case.
I've moved from a server to another.
For me pg_dumpall (official postgre manual page 480) went fine.
Actually it copies the whole cluster at once, I had three little
databases and their users (roles) moved from a 32bit machine running
postgre 9.0 to a 64bit one running 9.1.

Hope this helps
