Is there any easy way of telling 'dump' to ignore one or more directories? It seems like every filer I archive has at least one HUGE directory full of unvital compressed files that causes the dump to span tapes.

Simple solution would be to move that directory to it's own toplevel directory and/or quota tree (/logs is a good name). In fact, you could do that for all your filers, or put the all the logs on the same filer. Point the old directories to the new one via symlink if need be.
