You can't dump an smb file system (or maybe any remote file system). Try 
tar. Or star. Or do the backup on the system where the file system 
actually resides.

What I do is to mount (smbmount) the directory and then use fb.

some kind of

smbmount //aguasanta/SandboxesPFP /mnt/aguasanta/PFP -o 
credentials=/root/.credentials
if [ "$?" -eq $SUCCESS ]
   then
           flexbackup -set Aguasanta.PFP -full
           smbumount /mnt/aguasanta/PFP
fi

Don't use dump for that filesystem (or any other network file system).
