I don't know of any way to do what you want to do without an intermediary
control file.  We have written a rather complex sh script for automating
dumps which does what you appear to want to do (as well as quite a bit
more, including handling of pre-release 4.0 NFS dumps); it is available as
part of the "System Manager's Toolkit" from the Berkeley Campus Software
Office contact Claire Ledonne (ledonne@biolet.berkeley.edu) for more
information.  Good Luck!
