Sometimes on my FreeBSD box 'amstatus' output doesn't change during really long dumps. I've found the best way to find out if it's still running is to use the 'ps' command and grep for the phrase 'done' ie:
 'ps -ax | grep done'

Dump does a good job of reporting back how far it thinks it is in the process. ie: "78% done"
