I tried this once and got the same error. Then I ran grep on the image file it produced with words that I knew were present in the filesystem like "headphone" "mono" and "state". I couldn't find any words in the image, so I don't think the files it produces contain real data. It could be that it's doing something very strange, like flipping bits or re-encoding blocks in the dump file. Since upload is known to be broken, I didn't look into it any further:
