On my system (Mac OS X) errcode 2 in this context means a directory
somewhere in your path does not exist. I'm not sure how much the numerical
errors vary from unix to unix...
Remember that INTO OUTFILE expects a path to a file on the _server_, not the
client. Also, mysqld must have permission to create the file. On my setup, I
have a world-writable directory in my home directory on the server called
"Drop Box" (this is standard on OS X) which I write to.
Hope this helps,
Geoff
