Dump is probably complaining that it can't create a symbolic link because
the symbolic link already exists. It probably always archives symbolic
links, whether they have been recently created or not. It should lstat()
them and see if they point to the right place, and if so it should not
complain.

A recent alpha-test version of GNU tar emits this same complaint.
