"Of course" it didn’t work. This script haven’t been updated in Server 3.x. It’s the 2.x script, not updated for the 3.x behavior…

The full error message is:

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "caldav" failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
	Is the server running locally and accepting
	connections on Unix domain socket "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket/.s.PGSQL.5432 »?

And indeed, the unix socket for PgSQL aren’t here any more.

Nowadays the unix socket is located /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_<md5 sum of the data path>

You can find a sample script explaining how to build this socket by yourself on my GitHub space: https://github.com/ygini/osx_misc/blob/master/ccsPgSocketPath.sh

Be careful with other PgSQL based services, it the same kind of joke.

You can read the full details about PgSQL socket path on 3.x on my blog http://blog.inig-services.com/archives/1444 (it’s in french, but it should be OK with Google Translate).
