You need to connect to a database that already exists (such as "postgres"); it 
then creates the database you are restoring and switches to it.  The relevant 
manual line is:

        "When (-C / --create) is used, the database named with -d is used only 
to issue the initial DROP DATABASE and CREATE DATABASE commands. All data is 
restored into the database name that appears in the archive."
