See the man page for ufsdump (and/or tar) - a .rhosts file will be needed (I usually had one created via the scripts I ran just before the dump and then delete them afterwards as it is a security concern) along with the IP and host names in /etc/hosts for each server involved.
How about content format of .rhosts file, is it same as /etc/hosts.equiv:
hostname user

Thanks
