Answer:

InfoProvider IC_SAM could not be locked for an archiving session

i think this is a dead give away about the resaon for the dump...
Try to find out why this object could not be locked ... : is there still a request comming into it active, is there still a request starting from it active, ...
see if there already exists another lock for the infoprovider (SM12)

also, have a look on oss, pretty sure there gots to be some info on this

Answer:
sure your infocube has been prepared for archiving before your attempt ?
