Hi Oren,

You need to open the tape device as a non rewinding device

/dev/nst0

So it would be 

dump -f /dev/nst0 <files to dump>
dump -f /dev/st0 <second files to dump>

Then it won't rewind after the first dump.

To access the second dump you will need again to open the device as
/dev/nst0.

Use mt to spool forward to the second dump on the tape.

i.e.. mt -f /dev/nst0 1
