Why i cant dump transaction log?

[sukip]

Version is SQL6.5. Trying to backup the transaction log via the enterprise manager, the scheduled task T-SQL is as follows:

dump transaction images to disk =
'f;\mssql\data\imageslog.dat' with init


The error msg i get is:
Syslogs does not exist in its own segment in database '4' with segmap '7' with logical start page number of '0'. You may not use DUMP TRAN in this case, use DUMP DATABASE instead. (Message 4205)

Any ideas?
