Perhaps its like this.
pg_dumpall wants to dump the whole database-cluster (every database in
your server) that is not only "MONITORINGZ" but the two templates, too.
So pg_dumpall doesn't ask you for the password to your own database but
2 times for the pw for the 2 template DBs.
In pgpass.conf write * instead of MONITORINGZ or copy the line for
template0 and template1.
Or don't use pg_dumpall and use pg_dump instead just for MONITORINGZ.
Maybe it's somerthing else ... one never knows with those computers ... ;)
