 You'll need to specify '-h0' on the dump command line for nodump to be
 honoured for a level 0 dump.

 I want to dump a mountpoint *EXEPT* for a specific directory (a vmware

 directory inode) but I'm a bit confused on this matter.
 
 How exactly do I skip a complete directory in dump?

Check out the 'nodump' option to chflags(8) and the '-h' option to dump.
You should be able to set the nodump flag on your vmware directory and have
dump ignore it and everything below it.  You'll need to specify '-h0' on
the dump command line for nodump to be honoured for a level 0 dump.

Cheers,
