It might be helpful if you provided the exact pg_dump command you are trying to use, as well as the text of the .bat file you set up.
I did exactly that a bit into my message (should have probably pointed it out at the beginning). Anyway, here it is again: pg_dump -h localhost -U myuser mydatabase -f outputfile.backup Oh, and I forgot to ask another question in the original message: why can a linux user with an invalid or non-existant .pgpass successfully use pg_dumpall (pg_dumpall -U existing_pg_role > dump.sql) and read any data he/she cares to read?
