Having a problem dumping a database using pg_dump. This is Mac OS 10.9.2 and

my database, called radiovision, using psql -U radiovision. I think that means
the authentication is working properly (i.e. postgres does not ask for a
password for radiovision or give me any authentication errors). However, when
I try to create a backup using pg_dump -C radiovision, I am prompted for a
password to which I respond with radiovision's password. I then get the error:
connection to database "radiovision" failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for
user "DrRudner".
try pg_dump -U radiovision -C radiovision ...
