IMHO, a better fix would be improving the regexp in _dump_filter_main to
match hostname more precisely. I did the following update and it seemed
to work fine, I tested with '-g dump' and all tests passed (some tests
_notrun due to missing tape device).

It's based on the fact that there're basically two patterns that contain
'HOSTNAME':

xfsrestore: hostname: HOSTNAME
xfsdump: level 0 dump of HOSTNAME:SCRATCH_MNT
