You were using:
	rdump.old 0fsdu mode:/dev/nrst0 6000 54000 /dev/rsd0a
have you tried avoiding the NeXT dump / Sun rmt pair, and
saying something like
	dump.old 0fsdu - 6000 54000 /dev/rsd0a | rsh mode dd bs=??? of=/dev/nrst0

This should make the sun simply copy bits to tape, rather than place
any particular religious interpretation on them (:_)).  Thus then may
make the tape readable by a similar incantation involving the NeXT restore.
If that doesn't work, something bizzare is happening, and you need to try
dumping to/from a local file...
