One thing that's probably biting you is that 8.1 defaults to WITHOUT
OIDS, which is not an option 7.1 pg_dump even knows exists, so it's
not going to say WITH OIDS in the create commands, and then the
COPY WITH OIDS commands will fail ...

I concur with Josh's to use the newer version's pg_dump, but if you
can't, setting default_with_oids = true will probably help. There
might be some lesser gotchas too --- what sorts of errors do you
get exactly after fixing that?
