I want to dump and load data for two apps that I have. Using dumpdata works 
fine:

python manage.py dumpdata members posts > data.json

or

python manage.py dumpdata members posts --format=xml > data.xml

However, when I try to load the same data back with loaddata I get the 
following errors:

With JSON:
