[bj56@steel ]$ psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2.4

Yes, the same "pg_user does not exist" occurs with each database (hence
my not being able to dump + restore). I assume that is the case because
each database is based off of template1 when it is created.

I will try reconstructing template1 from template0 - thanks for that

this a great start - thanks!
