I have this sometimes when the partition I dump isn't in /etc/dumpdates.
Create a dummy /etc/dumpdates line for your partition in /etc/dumpdates.
Additionnaly, you might want to report this as a bug.

Yes, it actually was /etc/dumpdates causing this.
A cp /dev/null /etc/dumpdates did it, and everything works fine now.

 Are you using e2fsprogs 1.10-4?  I got weird errors with dump when I
 upgraded from 1.10-2, and everything worked again when I downgraded.
 A nasty disk corruption bug was reported with 1.10-4, so you probably
 shouldn't be using it anyway.

It's only a problem if you have partition larger than 2 gig.
