You can use that > for pg_dump with option -h </path/to/the/socket-dir> Not sure if I get it right: on the machine executing the script postgresql is not installed, only the client is. However, it seems to work specifying in the pg_dump the port to which the script must connect: -p 5432. It is interesting to know why the psql command is working fine even without such parameter and pg_dump is not.
