Restore leaves incorrect uid:gid on certain directories.

Dump is used on machine A periodically.
Restore is used on machine B to obtain clone of machine A at the time of the 
dump.  Both machines are running FreeBSD 2.2.8 installed from the same CDs.

In the process of "restore"ing from a "dump"ed tape some directories are 
restored with the following uid:gid     4294967:4294967

find / -nouser on machine B displays these directories.
find / -nouser on machine A displays nothing.
ls -l on machine A displays what looks to be correct user/group names

A characteristic of the directories is that they would normally belong to 
uid:gid 65532:65532 or 65533:65533

Another characteristic of the directories is that they are either found on 
/usr or /var each of which is mounted seperately.  No damage is observed on /.

The damage is always the same, independent of the tape used, the day of the 
backup, etc...

I do not know how to resolve this problem,
Rick Saltzman
