When doing the pg_dump of the 8.4 database you might want to use the  -c option

"
-c
--clean

    Output commands to clean (drop) database objects prior to outputting the 
commands for creating them. (Restore might generate some harmless errors.)

    This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. For the archive 
formats, you can specify the option when you call pg_restore.
"

My suspicion is that there is already data in the tables of the 9.1 server from 
previous restore attempts.
