Thanks Warren,

That was it. But I now wonder what was the twisted reason behind that
behaviour (that is not documented, man pages mention the various
levels, not saying they are not working unless -u); I understand one
may want to not implement the incremental dumps, but the default
should enable them.

Best regards,

olivier
