Oh.. It's just that they are the versions running on the particular
machines I have to swap between. Then what I'm looking at is really an
upgrade of the 7.2.4 version, before I can consider installing the db? I
hadn't realized there was such a difference that it would force an upgrade.
Thanks for the clarification.

Why?
Archive header incompatibility is going to be the *least* of your
worries. pg_dump output is not designed to be loaded into old versions
without problems, and in this case you are talking about going backwards
over the addition of schemas. You'll have all kinds of syntax errors.
I can't imagine why you'd be wanting to go back to 7.2.anything anyway.
