Check the manual to make sure, but I believe that you need to also make sure 
that the operating system privileges are set correctly too.  Not sure what 
you'll need in Windows, but in Linux, your hosting company probably runs 
MySQL under the user mysql.  Thus, for the database to write out the data for 
BACKUP, it needs _unix_ write privileges for user mysql (can be group too).

If you are trying to backup a table to a directory in your log-in directory, 
you need to make sure that the MySQL daemon has write privileges to the 
backup directory.

Best,
Kyle
