I had a very similar error with xfsdump with a HP Colorado 8GB
parallel tape drive that turned out to be a problem with the
driver. Basically the weof ioctl was broken. I don't know if
that is also your problem but the problem I posted
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=99535721114946&w=2)
did at least prompt an upgrade to the xfsdump code so that it
doesn't core dump when it hits that problem. You should
definitely upgrade.
