pg_upgrade fails with "permission denied for relation pg_authid"

[TEST REPORT]

[Release]: 9.0Beta2

[Test Type]: CUSTOM

[Test]: pg_upgrade on my production database (v 8.4.4)

[Platform]: Linux Redhat Enterprise 5 x86_64 - Vmware Virtual Machine

[Parameters]:

[Failure]: Yes

[Results]:

it's my very first trial with pg_upgrade so I'm surely missing
something....

I'm trying to launch pg_upgrade passing my super user name but
pg_dumpall fails with a permission denied error....

I don't see the username in the pgdumpall call....could it be this the
problem ?

Thank you

Marco
