When i removed my tank, there was a rubber hose sitting un-connected going in under one side of the air box and coming out the other.

The other end goes to the gearbox. Breather, I presume? I think my dealer did this and I wonder if it is ok, or should I reconnect it? There is no oil residue anywhere, bone dry. Will it suck dust into the gearbox?

here is a couple of pics. Apologies for the poor quality photo's but I used my cell phone.

This is how it must be (on my bike it's like this).
 
The gearbox just vents to atmosphere. It has been that way since the beginning. I wouldn't worry about dust much unless you are always on dirt roads. If you are on dirt roads, you could always put a small filter on the end of the hose.
 
You'll notice that on the airbox right next to the tube that comes from the crankcase breather, there is a second nipple that isn't used. Why Guzzi didn't use this nipple for the gearbox vent tube instead of just sticking the the hose over the airbox I don't know.
