couchdb-load error: You are not a server admin

[Hendrik Jan van Meerveld]

Hello,

I'm trying to restore a database backup but having a problem.

The command I use is:
  "couchdb-load -u serveradminusername -p serveradminpassword
--input=backup20110530.bin http://127.0.0.1:5984/databasename";
Which gives me the error:
  "couchdb.client.ServerError: (401, ('unauthorized', 'You are not a server
admin.'))"


But I am sure the username and password are correct, because I was able to
create the database using Futon with this username and password.

Kind regards and thanks for any advise,
Hendrik Jan
