Hmmm ... looks like your -s arguments are wrong:

lcrash -s <dumpdev> <dumpdir>

So, /tmp can be right, if that's where you want to save your
crash dump, but <dumpdev> (the first argument after -s) needs
to be some device where the dump can be read from, such as
/dev/vmdump, or /dev/sda1, or wherever it is stored.
