The man page for dump says you need to create the directory by hand if it 
doesn't already exist:

      If the .snap
      directory does not exist in the root of the filesystem being
      dumped, the dump will fail.  This problem can be corrected by
      creating a .snap directory in the root of the filesystem to be
      dumped; its owner should be root, its group should be operator,
      and its mode should be 0770.
