Tar works on filesystems, dump on devices.  Try using your mount point
instead of the device mounted on it ( / in this case).  However, since
the Linux box I tested it on did successfully create a tar file of the
device (not the contents of, just the  /dev/hd entry itself), you may have
permissions problems.
   You might also check your fstab, I've seen some distros use some weird
entries for the root filesystem.  What does yours look like?
