Hey, Ryan!
Dump is not able to work on directories. The "atom" for dump is an entire filesystem. As a convenience, you can give dump the mount point, but it actually bypasses the normal filesystem code and talks to the device file directly - it just looks up the mount point to get the device. It understands the filesystem datastructures on its own and interprets them as much as necessary to build it's directory and datablock list.
So - if a directory isn't a mount point - if it doesn't show up in a "df" or "mount" list as a type "ufs" and "local", dump can't operate on it.
Dump is create, really awesome at what it does - but it doesn't do anything else. :) It is really different from tar or cpio or any of the other programs that go THROUGH the filesystem code rather than bypassing it.
ERROR: non-zero exit from:
dump -0 -b 10 -a -f - /usr/local/samba/export/classic
