awesome, thanks for the help Keith! I got the dump loaded and things
seem to be working fine!

as a note to future users with a similar issue, I found basically the
same thing Keith wrote about sed at:
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1451-sed-delete-one-or-more-lines-from-a-file

Removing one (or several) line (s) of a file
Syntax:
sed '{[/]<n>|<string>|<regex>[/]}d' <fileName>
sed '{[/]<adr1>[,<adr2>][/]d' <fileName>

    * /.../=delimiters
    * n = line number
    * string = string found in in line
    * regex = regular expression corresponding to the searched pattern
    * addr = address of a line (number or pattern )
    * d = delete

Examples
Remove the 3rd line:
sed '3d' fileName.txt
