It sounds like the dump is going to the file /dev/nrst0 instead of to
the device /dev/nrst0. In other words, you're backing up to disk, not
to tape. Do the following as root:
cd /dev
rm *st0*
./MAKEDEV st0
Then do your dumps.

As the snow started to fall, he tugged his coat tighter around
himself. Too tight, as it turned out. "This is the fourth coat
crushing this year", said the sergeant as he outlined the body with a
special pencil that writes on snow. -- Jack Handey
