It's AIX. So is this I/O error referring to writing to tape, or reading the file from disk? I'd much rather use tar than dump...

Look in your system logs for more info on that. Look into that I/O error. Also, is this Solaris? For whatever reason, tar seems rather slow on Solaris (at least a lot of questions on this list seem to point that way). If that's a filesystem, could you try dump?
