You mean "no dump (d)", the attribute that says this file should never
be backed up and is in no way related to the Archive bit, which says
that this file has been modified since the last time the Archive bit was
cleared?

It seems I misread the manpage. Dump will by default backup 'no dump'
files if it's not creating an incremental backup, so I asumed it would set
the flag on backup.
