The problem with the old dump is that it used longs in the lseek offset instead of using the off_t in the lseek offset. This will only give you the above error messages if you partition is greater that 2 GB. you can either get the /usr/src/sbin/dump/traverse.c from the FreeBSD 2.1.0 distribution, or go in with an editor and change the blkn in the lseek() to: (off_t)blkno --mark.
