I don't think you have - your problem is that xfsdump is failing for some reason - so this information is unnecessary. As to your workload, your problem is xfsdump is failing for some reason. Hence we need to know roughly what xfsdump is running on. i.e. describe the directory structure/filesystem contents being backed up.... BTW, don't expect responses to questions in a hour late on friday night/weekends - if you are lucky someone will be in front of their computer over a weekend, sometimes you are not so lucky...
