I can restore with pg_restore, but cannot with pgadmin in my case.

I do no specific rights management usually. I don't know much about 
them, but seems it's not enough.

I do simple steps. PG is installed from rpm, local connections are 
'trust' and remote are 'md5' in pg_hba.conf. createuser, set passwords

Then I create DB locally with
createdb -U postgres -E KOI8 --locale ru_RU.KOI8-R --template template0 
testdb
I don't think locale setting matters here, so it could be simply
createdb -U postgres testdb

Then I restore a database remotely with command
pg_restore -h server -1 -U testuser -v -S postgres --disable-triggers 
--no-owner -Ft -d testdb -L pg_restore_list.txt backup.tar

And everything is restored fine.

But option 'restore' is disabed in pgadmin if I log in as testuser. (And 
if I log in as postgres, I cannot use --no-owner to reset all ownership 
to testuser, so it seems I would have to change owners by some script)

Thanks,
