You'd need to write a new dump file, as it models a physical tape, and
removing a file would be equivalent to either chopping out a piece of tape
(ie. not feasible) or leaving a gap.
You might want to ask this on the dump mailing list at http://dump.sf.net/.
Stelian Pop (maintainer of dump) should be able to help with a command to
pipe a restore into a dump that omits one file.
