Hi,
the problem is that exfatprogs changed the dump output some time ago. gparted received as far as I can tell a patch in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/commit/35baa44e2f174504a20b22424285458d501dcda4 to read the new dump output and some follow up patches to also read the old output. That patch only made it into the gparted 1.7 release, which is right now not even packaged in Debian.
