Maybe you are not a superuser and does not have acess to the table ?
Try to dump the DB as 'postgres' user instead of Nuexo one.

my guess is that while moving the database from one physical volume to
another you did not preserver permissions etc (typically done via 'cp
-a').  If you have the source database, repeat the copy, making sure
to preserve. Otherwise it all has to be set manually.
