Well that introduces another error, where the restore trips on the 
existing table(s). By the way this is the first time you mentioned 
multiple tables. Do they share similar structure? In any case you should 
not have to do this and in the spirit of identifying the problem and 
fixing it, what happens if you do:

1) Dump locally

2) Restore locally, without creating the tables ahead.

3) Examine and report back here the table(s) schema(and sample data) 
after the fresh restore.

4) Drop the table(s) and create from script and populate. Report on 
whether they work.
