[PATCH] Trim some noise from the daily disk check

The daily periodic e-mails for my boxes always include useless output from 
dump -W.  I think the daily e-mail should only do that if the sysadmin is 
actually using dump.  The patch below skips the dump reporting it 
/etc/dumpdates doesn't exist or exists and is an empty file (the latter is 
what you get out-of-the-box):

Thoughts?
