Try soaking her in a plastic tub (with holes drilled for air) with a bit of water... a shallow bath. Put some damp towels on her. Leave her there for an hour or so (might want to put part of the plastic tub on a heat pad to keep the water at a good temperature). A longer bath might help. Once she has soaked for a while, take a damp terrycloth towel and wipe at her nose to see if any of the bark dust comes off. If it doesn't, you may have to wait until she sheds. If you like using bark like this, rinse it very well before putting it into the cage, this way hopefully the bark dust gets rinsed off.
