I traced the problem a little further and I think you end up in 
AFSVolEndtrans because of an error in getting the file.
If you take a look at src/usd/usd_file.c where  the 
USD_IOCTL_GETBLKSIZE call is implemented you will see real weird stuff 
done for AIX because AIX lacking some data in the stats.

Maybe I can fix this but it takes some time.

In the mean time ... can you make sure that you're able to write more 
than 4GB in the filesystem you're doing your dumps on?
So that I'm not tracing a ghost. ;-)
