Help!

I am trying to perform a remote dump from my Sun machine to an IBM box without success. I have worked through most of the errors associated with this process with the exception of the 'Lost connection' line. If I remove the tape from the remote host Ufsdump recognizes it and reports a bad tape so I know ufsdump is seeing the remote tape drive.

Output of my last attempt:

# ufsdump 0uf root@fastibm:/dev/rmt1 /IMI
DUMP: Writing 32 Kilobyte records
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed 08 Dec 2004 02:17:35 PM EST
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s4 (oldsun:/IMI) to fastibm:/dev/rmt1.
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: Estimated 599648 blocks (292.80MB).
DUMP: Lost connection to remote host.
DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1

My system particulars:

Local Host name: oldsun_ford
Local machine: Sun Ultra 10, dual nics
Local OS: Solaris 8

Remote Host name: fastibm
Remote machine: IBM 44P 170, dual nics
Remote OS: AIX 5.1
Remote tape drive: Quantum SDLT320
Remote tape device: rmt1
Remote .rhost: oldsun_ford
Remote /etc/hosts.equiv: oldsun_ford root

Root uses ksh on fastibm.

I have also created a logical link on fastibm for /etc/rmt to /usr/sbin/rmt.

I can rsh fastibm from oldsun-ford just fine as well as use this method: tar -b1 -cf - . | rsh fastibm "dd f=/dev/rmt1" to write to tape drive I just cannot get the ufsdump command to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
