vzdump --snapshot works, but --suspend fails?

[proxymoxy]

Just FYI

I downloaded vzdump_2011-06-17 and installed it on Scientific Linux 6.1 x86_64. Then I created a test container using the SL x86 precreated template.

After that I tried

vzdump --suspend --dumpdir /mymount 101

but vzdump failed because of the following error message

I searched for

tar "Cannot unlink": Is a directory +proxmox
and
tar "Cannot unlink": Is a directory +vzdump

but couldn't find anything.

Did anybody else encounter this problem?

By the way the following worked fine:

vzdump --snapshot  --dumpdir /root 101

You get that error once, or is it reproducable?

To clarify things: You do not run vzdump on PVE (debain) host - instead, you use SL as host OS?
