That's not a complete command; I assume those are the options and
arguments to pg_restore. As far as I can tell from the documentation
and tests the final argument of "test_db" serves no purpose and is
ignored.

That contradicts your previous message, in which you said:

Do you mean that pg_restore doesn't give any errors but the server
logs do? Please clarify, and if you're getting errors anywhere
then please post the exact text (copy and paste -- don't type the
error messages by hand).

It might help if you could post a complete test case: all commands
and SQL statements that create, populate, dump, and restore a simple
test database. That way we can see from start to finish what you're
doing, which might make finding the problem easier.
