An easier way might be to copy the items into a type-19 file under universe, transfer it to the unidata machine, and copy it into a hashed file there. This might fail if the file contains special characters or has odd characters in the ids, but for most files it should work. Is your universe install on windows or unix? If you're on windows, I think you're out of luck trying T-DUMP. If I recall correctly, there is no way on windows to create a "virtual tape" that universes can use. Uvbackup has a -t filename option that lets it go to a file, but T-DUMP does not.
