The commands starting with \ are psql commands. They are only executed
on the client side by psql. Stored procedures of course run on the
server, and don't know anything about psql \commands. What you can do
is setup a script for psql that first calls your stored procedure and
then uses \copy or \!pg_dump. But you can't put these commands in the
stored procedure.
