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.
