Did you run the amcheck first (assuming inital installation)?

Check that dumper is owned by root and the setuid bit is set for the usr 
(chmod u+s dumper)

should look something like this:

-rwsr-x---   1 root     sys       909112 Jan  8 10:23 dumper


amcheck should tell you if the daemons are talkin' to one another 
(thanks to the wise "John" for this insite)
