Probably because you need to redirect your output into the file AFTER all
the options. Rewrite your command like this:
mysqldump --flush-logs --add-drop-table -u root -p markloky shuncheong >
/backup/shuncheong.sql
See if that works. The way you had it written, you weren't passing the -u
and -p options to mysqldump. So, mysqldump was connecting as an unprivileged
user.
