Further examination.... I orignally used by 7.4 backup (taken
every 12 hours and well tested that they work under 7.4 anyway) rather
than redumping using pg_dump 8.0. I have now dumped using pg_dump version
8.0 same problem. I dumped just the schema. upon load into 8.0 a couple of
lines saying

ERROR: relation "test_id_seq" does not exist
STATEMENT: REVOKE ALL ON TABLE shopping_id_seq TO PUBLIC;
ERROR: relation "test_id_seq" does not exist
STATEMENT: GRANT ALL ON TABLE test_id_seq TO PUBLIC;

Not that important but no problem with the empty database but then
its empty!
Since the dumps are just sql right? I'm guessing that this has to
be some internal problem.
