I had the same problem, and I ended up adding the '-m' flag to get around
it. Here's my command line (lto1 drive, 1024k block size):
xfsdump -o -b 1048576 -m -F -L $LOCALNAME:$FS -d 256 -e -p 60 -l $LEVEL -f
$DRIVEHOST:$DRIVEPATH -c "$MEDIACHANGE" $FS
It seems remote drive handling still needs some work, but this may be a
limitation in rmt, not xfsdump.
