Does the .snap directory exist, and with the correct ownership and
permissions?
From the man page:
"If the .snap directory does not exist in the root of the file system
being dumped, a warning will be issued and the dump will revert to the
standard behavior. This problem can be corrected by creating a .snap
directory in the root of the file system to be dumped; its owner should
be ``root'', its group should be ``operator'', and its mode should be
``0770''."
