ERROR: must be superuser to COPY to or from a file
HINT: Anyone can COPY to stdout or from stdin. psql's \copy command
also works for anyone.
Straight from the documentation:
Do not confuse COPY with the psql instruction \copy. \copy invokes COPY
FROM STDIN or COPY TO STDOUT, and then fetches/stores the data in a file
accessible to the psql client. Thus, file accessibility and access
rights depend on the client rather than the server when \copy is used.

Doesn't look like \copy lets you specify which fields to include though.
alive=# \d a
Table "public.a"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
a | integer |
db=# \copy a to ./blah.sql (works)
db=# \copy a a to ./blah.sql
\copy: parse error at "a"
