This is my output on Windows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Code>pg_dump -U postgres -d test -n public
pg_dump: too many command-line arguments (first is "-n")
Try "pg_dump --help" for more information.

D:\Code>pg_dump -U postgres -d test --schema=public
pg_dump: too many command-line arguments (first is "--schema=public")
Try "pg_dump --help" for more information.

D:\Code>pg_dump --version
pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 8.3.3

The -d option doesn't take an argument. (It does not mean database.)
Hence 'test' is the first non-option argument, and everything after that is
also interpreted as non-option argument (unless you use GNU getopt).

What you appear to want should be written as

pg_dump -U postgres -n public test

Right. I mixed the input params.

The confusion comes from fact that I'm used to use Linux version which
never complained and worked as expected (besides the extra -d
parameter :D )
