Ok, just wanted to make sure before we try to diagnose further.  I've
never used XFS so have no direct experience dealing with it.

The rundump program is not where the automatic filesystem type detection
happens.  It's just a thin wrapper to handle the required priv increase.
The things that call it give it a command line argument telling it which
dump program to invoke.  There is an amname_to_fstype() function that
works out the file system type,  This gets called, for example, from
client-src/sendsize.c which should log diagnostics like

  "calculating for device <blah> with <fstype>"

It would be good to know what the 'fstype' field shows for the
filesystem(s) in question if you can find that in your logs.  That will
help me understand whether the problem is that the filesystem type is
being incorrectly determined, or the wrong program is being called even
when the filesystem is properly recognized.
