Earlier i had some body parts i wanted to get rid of, so i did the sensible thing and used the dump command to submerge them in lava then removed the dump once all of  the dirty work was done. Shortly after i replaced my old dump and designated all of my precious goblinite to be dumped but my dwarves are still dumping it into the long gone magma dump zone. How can i fix this?

I've had dwarves taking clay (well, attempting, failing, and cancel spamming) from a clay collection zone which I'd removed. Maybe zones are broken. :S

Replace or deleted and made a new one? If the old one is still active that might be the problem.

Deleted and made a new one, i had the entire dump removed.

Are you sure they aren't removing the rocks from the old dump and putting it in the new one? That might have something to do with it.

IF not, just disable the dumping labour (or whatever it is called) on all dwarves, remove the dump and try it again, then enable the labours.

Did you mark the goblinite for dumping before or after you created the new zone?  I've had problems with dwarves trying to dump things in the wrong zone, even though it was inactive, because they were marked for dumping when it was the only dump zone I had.  You might try removing the dump command from the items, recreating your dump zone, and then mark the items for dumping again.  You can also try building a floor over the old dump zone, so even if it gets dumped there you can recover it.

The labor for dumping is "refuse hauling".
