The error messages you paste in your previous mail have nothing to with
pgAdmin. They are server messages. pgAdmin don't delete directories or files

Are you sure it was a FAT filesystem? Because you shouldn't run postgres on
this kind of filesystem. You have to use NTFS.

I've checked and it worked. With 8.3 and 8.4 PostgreSQL, and pgAdmin 1.10, and
Linux (I don't have a Windows system nearby to check on it.).
