I've been getting this error intermittantly when making backups with dump, and
attempting to restore them on a new machine with restore -rf:

Set directory mode, owner, and times.
cannot find directory inode 1489928
abort? [yn] y
dump core? [yn] y

The dumps were made on live systems, is this whats causing this?  If so a) how
come it doesnt happen very often? b) How can I make dump reliably backup a
live system?  Going down to single user just isnt feasable for what I need.
