The fact that the message shows up at 03:01:01 is probably indicative
of something that runs through cron.  The hour (just seconds after
03:00am) points to the daily scripts that FreeBSD runs to check things.

The program that fails is called "dump".  There is only one instance
of a "dump" command in /etc/periodic/daily/* files:

	keramida@hades[14:26]/etc/periodic/daily$ grep dump *
	400.status-disks:       dump W || rc=3;;

Can you try running the following command as root and see if it fails?

	# dump W

By fixing the problems that dump(8) has.

Release kernels do not have #1 as their number, but #0.  This is
probably an indication of a kernel recompile that you did, without
going through the recommended buildworld/buildkernel steps.  If this
is the case, you have kernel that is not in sync with your userland
tools, and that could very well be the cause behind the dump(8)
failures that you're seeing.
