You're correct, I cannot use the pg_dump. I get a error message that

You'll probably need to specify an absolute path. Are both the client
and server applications running on the same server? If so, you might
need to get your consultant to tell you where the client applications
for the 8.1.4 installation were actually installed. By default, postgres
installs both client and server applications into /usr/local/pgsql, but
at least one of your installations must be in a different location;
otherwise, you probably couldn't have two versions of the postmaster
running concurrently.
Oh, and two other commands you might find useful:
which pg_dump
Will show you which version of pg_dump is being run by default
alias
Will let you set up pg_dump81 as an alias for the correct binary you
want.
Man pages cover the details.

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
