Ah, OK.  A bit unexpected, but if I repeat the process using the '-o'
option w/ xfs_metadump, the loopback mounted fs now looks as expected:

  prompt# ls -F /mnt
  backup/  data/  pvfs2-server.log  pvfs2-server.log.0 pvfs2-server.log-crashed

I'll run xfs_repair -L on the real filesystem now.

Many thanks for the help!

John
