Does www-data exist as a postgres user?
I have tried to reproduce your problem, but I can't.
I don't have a password for www-data so I use sudo:
dstanawa@ciderbox:~$ sudo -u www-data psql -c "select version()"
template1
version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.4
(1 row)
dstanawa@ciderbox:~$ tail -11 /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
local all ident
sameuser
#host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 trust

Anyway.. you probably want to restore the database as a super user (EG:
User Postgres) The dump script should have
\connect - "www-data"
statements in it. It also may have some
\connect - "postgresql"
statements too. which could cause problems as user www-data
