Well, I figure, you are using HFS+ for your Mac OS X hard disk?
(It's the default)

If so, then most probably dump on OS X supports UFS filesystems only.
The message "bad sblock magic number" leads me to that conclusion.

To be sure, you'd better either check the source from Darwin
or ask at some Darwin developers' mailing list.
