pg_dump should be fine, and we use that internally. What problems are you having with pg_dump? You may need to pass the socket path with the -h option to pg_dump. You can find the socket path being used by calendar server from a process listing, as shown in the highlighted text below:
andre@xomg[~]ps auxww | grep "shared_buffers" andre 16586 0.0 0.0 2443004 2320 ??
