John, I didn't find any core files anywhere on the client or server. At least anywhere that Amanada would have anything to do with. Here are all the references to dumper#, I don't see anything that jumps out at me and I am pretty sure that the problem is on the client side where the tar seems to be barfing for some unknown reason.
