Can someone please tell me what the problem is below. All I am trying to 
do is pipe a backup created with mysqldump into mysql and it gives me 
this error:

ERROR 1071 at line 1291: Specified key was too long. Max key length is 
500

Here is the query where the error is:


CREATE TABLE list (
  list_id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  name varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
  description varchar(255),
  email varchar(100) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
  message_count mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  category_id mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  type tinyint(3) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  day_count smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  num_days mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  day_ave smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (list_id),
  KEY type (type),
  KEY category_id (category_id),
  KEY name (name,description)
)


Thanks you in advance.
