Some output from dump:

  DUMP: 55.03% done, finished in 0:04
  DUMP: DUMP: 24169 tape blocks on 1 tape(s)
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
/etc/dumpdates: Permission denied
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

Unless /etc/dump somehow managed to do a kerberos rsh to the machine
that I was dumping to and run "mt erase", I doubt very much that the
dump was aborted.  In fact, I know from past experience that the dump
is valid; it is just not recorded in dumpdates.  This is not cause to
print the last line.
