dumpdata with manytomany

Hi. I’m not clear on how to get dumpdata to work with a many-to-many relationship. I’m trying to populate my test database with a few reference tables, two of which have a many-to-many relationship. If I just just dump the tables separately, the many to many links are not included. If I try to dump the relationship separately using the name of the automatically created link table, I get an “Unknown model” error.

Update: false alarm, sorry if I wasted anybody’s time. The relationship is being loaded correctly; I was misinterpreting what my debugger was telling me
