sounds reasonable to me, does /dev/hdv1 (which is listed as rootfs actually exist? I guess not, and as dump is a low level block device tool, it will require low level block access to the filesystem you want to dump ... I would suggest doing dumps only on the physical server or from a special virtual server with access to all block devices (which is possible, but not trivial to set up) ... allowing block access to a virtual server is not a good thing to do ...
