The man page for dump says you need to create the directory by hand if it
doesn't already exist:
If the .snap
directory does not exist in the root of the filesystem being
dumped, the dump will fail. This problem can be corrected by
creating a .snap directory in the root of the filesystem to be
dumped; its owner should be root, its group should be operator,
and its mode should be 0770.
