OK, sorry I misunderstood that restore worked from dump files without -L....
I wonder if the original poster just needs to do an fsck on the disk. 
The only time I had dump crap out on me (other than with -L) was on a 
dirty filesystem.

I regularly do stuff like
cd /usr;dump 0f - /usr | (cd /tmp/usr; restore -rf - )
to duplicate partitions
