Not sure what the problem could be. For me a 12 Gb backup takes around 52 minutes, so it would take around six hours for you, all things being equal. If you could email me your values for SOURCE and FILEDEST along with the output of df I'll have a quick look at it.

  It is creating the .dmg properly. HOwever I'm getting these errors
  
hdiutil: attach failed - No such file or directory

Validating target..."/Volumes/backup_2004-02-10" is not a volume

  

couldn't validate target - No such file or directory.
  
  When I do an ls the file is there but is sill growing in size and I can see the disk writing (creating the empty disk image). If I wait until the image has been created and then comment out the hdiutil create line it seems to work fine (its running now). I could add a SLEEP NNN line but I'm looking for a cleaner way.
