Hello list, I need some help with this error:

I get this error when i'm trying to create a backup of some of my
tables of the database, i'm using pgadmin3, I've searched on internet
about it, but I couldn't find useful info.
I will appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
According to pgAdmin3 you cannot use both -C and -c at the same time.
Not sure why:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/app-pgdump.html
-c
--clean
Output commands to clean (drop) database objects prior to
outputting the commands for creating them. (Restore might generate some
harmless error messages, if any objects were not present in the
destination database.)
This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. For the
archive formats, you can specify the option when you call pg_restore.
-C
--create
Begin the output with a command to create the database itself and
reconnect to the created database. (With a script of this form, it
doesn't matter which database in the destination installation you
connect to before running the script.) If --clean is also specified, the
script drops and recreates the target database before reconnecting to it.
This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. For the
archive formats, you can specify the option when you call pg_restore.
What version of pgAdmin3 are you using?
What options are you using when running the pgAdmin3 backup tool?
I ask because pgAdmin will not issue a CREATE DATABASE by default.
