If you kept the SQL statements that generated your schema in the first
place you could probably replay them on your 7.1 database. Once your
schema was installed on the 7.1 database, then you should be able to use
pg_dump to dump out only the data. You might need to manually add
triggers and foreign key constraints, but it should be doable.

If that seems like a lot of work, you could simply upgrade to 7.2 :).
