In your  \d task_instance above I do not see a trigger that calls 
public.check_permission(). Does one exist or was it cut off the output 
you pasted?

Also look in the dump file. Given that you are using 11.5 I'm going to 
assume it is resetting the search_path and that the unqualified  schema 
name of permitted_work below is your issue.
