I was just looking at the source to dump, specifically traverse.c and
from what I can see, doesn't dump pass #2 scan through all directories
and then in the searchdir() function remove a directory's children from
the list of inodes to backup if the directory has the nodump flag?

414 if (nodump) {
415 ip = getino(dp->d_ino, &mode);
416 if (TSTINO(dp->d_ino, dumpinomap)) {
417 CLRINO(dp->d_ino, dumpinomap);
418 *tapesize -= blockest(ip);
