Tom,
My apologies for wasting your time. I wasn't calling pg_restore as I'd
described but with the -f flag so of course it was hanging waiting for
input. I hope my embarrassment is sufficient punishment.
Would you accept the second part of that post about handling the file
name in pgAdmin Backup and Restore? I will resubmit if you think it
would be useful.

When I try to reproduce this I get
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive
Perhaps there are specific cases where it gets confused, but you'll need
to submit a sample file for us to poke at.
Another possible explanation is that this is a bug that's been fixed
since whichever 8.3.x release you are using (which you didn't specify,
tut tut).
regards, tom lane
