FYI in case you still have the problem after using pg_dump from 8.1 (we did)
you may have an encoding mismatch between your 7.3 and 8.1 databases. Our
7.x database was SQL_ASCII while 8.1 defaults to creating databases as
UTF-8. I had similar "invalid UTF-8 byte sequence" errors. I fixed it by
using:
createdb --encoding=SQL_ASCII [your db here]
When creating the database in 8.1. We were then able to load without a
problem.
Not sure you're in the exact same situation, but hope it helps.
Stuart

you should use the 8.1 pg_dump not the 7.3 one.
Give it a try
