I'd raise this on the dump mailing list. The developer is very responsive 
there.

"man lsetxattr" indicates that this is an issue with extended attributes. I 
think you can see those with the "lsattr" command. (Example: I set the "d" 
attribute on things I don't want routinely dumped, like my Fedora DVD image 
that's mounted as a yum core repository.)
