- Normally this should work, however, it's a little hard to guess what's happening without the real commands you are running, and without the output from xfsdump. One thing though ... is "/path/name" a

- Unfortunately, as it stands, xfsdump will not write to an arbitrary, remote file -- it must be in /dev. I'm not sure of the reason for this, but you can work around the problem fairly easily, eg: xfs
