pg_restore errors

Hi List;

Trying to restore a pg_dump I get this:

pg_restore: ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xae
HINT:  This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the 
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
CONTEXT:  COPY imm_lookup, line 2
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQendcopy: ERROR:  invalid byte 
sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xae
HINT:  This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the 
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
CONTEXT:  COPY imm_lookup, line 2


This is a dump file that was handed to me from a client. I don't know anything 
about what the dump flags were or what the db encoding was. Is there a way to 
find out (I'm assuming this is an encoding mis-match) from the dump file.

I did do a pg_restore -l and got this:

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance..
