Ummm, your xinetd line says to run things as group "disk", and user
"backup".  That combination does not have access to execute killpgrp.

I assume you said --with-group=backup since it got installed this way?
Why not put that in xinetd.conf and then add "disk" as an alternate
group for user "backup"?

Yup, they do.  What happens if you run this by hand as user "backup":

  /sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /dev/hda6 > /dev/null
