The recommended upgrade technique is to us pg_dump (or pg_dumpall)
from the newer version (9.0.3 in this case) to access the old
database (running the 8.2.3 server in this case).  If you followed
some other procedure, like using the 8.2.3 software to dump the
database, you should try the recommended approach instead.
 
I generally dump in plain text format (the default) and pipe it to
psql.
