First check to make sure that ./configure finds xfsdump:

checking for xfsdump... /sbin/xfsdump
checking for xfsrestore... /sbin/xfsrestore
configure: warning: *** xfsdump causes the setuid-root rundump program to be 
enabled
configure: warning: *** to disable it, just #undef XFSDUMP in config/config.h

Second, make sure you're doing the 'make install' as root, or the bits 
that need to be setuid won't be.  Third, are your XFS partitions in the 
fstab?  Fourth, make sure you're trying to use xfsdump on entire 
partitions only -- it won't work on subdirectories.
