Dumping to another servers tape drive

I run:
/sbin/dump -0uf - /dev/sda9 | ssh rsldata 'dd of=/dev/nst0'
It seems to go to the tape fine. Then on rsldata I run:
/sbin/restore -if /dev/nst0
I get the error:
/sbin/restore: Tape block size (512) is not a multiple of dump block
size (1024)
I've setup ssh so as to not require a password for sshing to rsldata.
I try to adjust block sizes in both "dd" and restore to no avail. Any
idea what I'm doing wrong? This typically works fine on Unix (Solaris)
but not Fedora.
Thanks
