The error comes directly from the libhandle listing routine, which
is a straight forward wrapper around the kernel syscall in current
xfsprogs.
What xfsprogs version are you using? I noticed your xfsdump is
rather old, so making sure you have recent XFS userspace and
possibly also the kernel would help debugging this.
Also can you check using strace if the ENOMEM comes directly from
the attr_list_by_handle ioctl?
