Are you sure that's the exact query and error message? The query has a backtick; the error message has none, which is unusual for a purely syntactic error. It makes me suspicious that the error is coming from something else: maybe a subtly mangled file.

I found the problem. When I ran the MySQL Administrator to start the restore, I didn't notice that I was connected to another server. In face, I was connecting to the server from which the backup came from originally, but from another machine. Once I caught this, and changed it to the local machine, the restore (and the DROP TRIGGER command) went through fine. It may simply be that the user I used to connect to the other server didn't have access rights to do that, I'm not sure, but the error message indicated a syntactical error (as you noted), not an access error. So, it's a mystery to me why the message didn't seem to indicate it properly, but I've got it working now.

Thanks,
Jesse
