I've got a script that dumps various filesystems to tape for me, but

You probably have not created the .snap directory in the root of the
filesystem.

From the dump(8) man page:
        If the .snap directory does not exist in the root of the
        file system being dumped, a warning will be issued and the
        dump will revert to the standard behavior.  This problem
        can be corrected by creating a .snap directory in the root
        of the file system to be dumped; its owner should be
        ``root'', its group should be ``operator'', and its mode
        should be ``0770''.
