I restored the roles OK, but getting an error when trying to restore my
database.  I tried two different commands but get the same offset error.
 See below.

postgres@georgefoster:~> pg_restore -C
backup_StallusBoutique_Test_2012-02-22.bak
pg_restore: [archiver] unexpected data offset flag 0

postgres@georgefoster:~> pg_restore -C -d postgres
backup_StallusBoutique_Test_2012-02-22.bak
pg_restore: [archiver] unexpected data offset flag 0
