Works fine for me:

regression=# create table "SA_SSN" ("F1" int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# \q
$ pg_dump -t SA_SSN regression
-- (produces dump of table)
$ pg_dump -t sa_ssn regression
pg_dump: specified table "sa_ssn" does not exist

Are you quite sure you created the table with an upper-case name?

Also: some time back, we had versions of pg_dump that behaved
differently in this respect; perhaps you are mistakenly invoking an
old pg_dump. (Though I'd think that a pg_dump that old would fail
completely against a 7.4 server anyway ...)
