Table name            Source Dumped   Target Loaded
public.access_email   No              No
public.rel_user_email Yes             Yes

Thus, while new and modified records are being added to public.access_email
at the source, they are not making it to the Target database.  That plus
"--disable-triggers" lets the public.rel_user_email loads succeed on the
target even though it breaks RI.
