Which rmt are you using?  On Debian systems, there are several packages
that can provide rmt, so the 'alternatives' mechanism is used to allow
you to choose which one you want.  By default, you probably get the one
provided by the 'tar' package.  It would be interesting to know whether
you're configured to use the rmt that comes with dump, with tar, or some
other version.
