I don't have vxdump on my system.  Man pages sometimes list
a meaning for the exit status' of their programs.  For
example, my ufsdump manpage shows this:

  EXIT STATUS
     While running, ufsdump emits many verbose messages.
     ufsdump returns the following exit values:

     0     Normal exit.
     1     Startup errors encountered.
     3     Abort - no checkpoint attempted.


Your man page for vxdump may show something enlightening.
Or not :((
