I've done a search for you and came across the following.
Dump failure EDD007
Corrupt smp_db directory stopped the dump
re-creating the directory solved the problem
Dump failure EDD007
The EDD failed at the ALARM_MGT point in the Dump
Associated errors point to problems with the files in the smp_db directory as below :

BUG9011 Can't create/open Alarm Management Database file /u/smp_db/smpconf.tmp.
BUG9011 Can't create/open Alarm Management Database file /u/smp_db/smpserv.tmp.
BUG9008 Error occurred writing Alarm Management Database /u/smp_db.
Navigating to the smp_db directory in pdt and listing its contents showed errors in the directory structure.
pdt> cd smp_db
pdt> ll
Directory of '/u/smp_db':

pdt>
This is what the directory structure should look like :
pdt> ll
Directory of '/u/smp_db':
SIZE DATE TIME NAME
---------- ----------- -------- ------------
512 Aug-14-2007 15:50:48 . <DIR>
512 Aug-14-2007 15:50:48 .. <DIR>
pdt>
To overcome the problem I deleted the smp_db directory and reprovided it as below :
The smp_db directory is off the "u" directory
Directory of '/u' showing the smp_db dir

512 Aug-13-1998 15:15:04 SMP_DB <DIR>
pdt>
So in the "u" directory and using the commands you can re-created the smp_db dir.
"rmdir smp_db" to remove the dir
"mkdir smp_db" to reprovide the directory.
After this the directory structure looked correct :
pdt> cd /u/smp_db
pdt> ll
Directory of '/u/smp_db':
SIZE DATE TIME NAME
---------- ----------- -------- ------------
512 Aug-14-2007 15:50:48 . <DIR>
512 Aug-14-2007 15:50:48 .. <DIR>
After this pdt change doing an EDD allowed access to the smp_db dir for read/write functions and the Dump completed.
It might be worth checking that access into "pdt" is OK?.

Option 11 dumps OK to the primary and secondary drives but the backup to the Z: drive fails, also unable to manipulate files on the Z drive, see below.
