7.4, which is unfortunately consistent with the idea of having done all the backup and restore work while cd'd to the now deleted binaries directory when I installed 8.1, although I no longer remember for sure. At the very least, it's the only explanation that makes sense to me, because pg_ctl --version pretty clearly shows 8.1.11 *headscratch*

True enough, if you can *remember* how you implemented your efficiency. :D
So, what does PG_VERSION in each of the above directories have to say?

7.4, which is unfortunately consistent with the idea of having done all the backup and restore work while cd'd to the now deleted binaries directory when I installed 8.1, although I no longer remember for sure.
