Your correct, the nodump flag on directories has no affect on the files within that directory. Both Free and Net have patched their respective versions to change that behaviour. I'm working on a patch. The hold up is digging through restore to make sure I do this correctly. No point in frogging up dumpinomap, dumpdirmap, and usedinomap if restore doesn't do what you expect.
