I suspect this is due to the changes to the XFS_GEOMETRY ioctl
which happened at some point since 1.1 release, which was done
to support the new log format.
Basically, if you compile xfsdump against the xfsprogs headers
from xfsprogs in 1.1 it should work, but if you compile xfsdump
against CVS header files it will use the new geometry ioctl,
which was not supported by the 1.1 kernel code and hence the
"Inappropriate ioctl" error.
cheers.
