I had this same problem on a SUSE8.1 box, brand new install. amcheck showed
it was all good but the backups failed (and failed and failed and failed
while I tore my hair out....). Problem was dump doesn't work on reiserFS.
Found it in the client logs in /var somewhere. Same problem with another
SUSE8.1 box with a RAID partition. Dump works fine on ext2 and ext3
partitions on SUSE8.1 but not on other file systems. GNUTAR was my friend.
