So I am trying to use mysqldump --tab for the first time. I am running into the same problem everybody does on their first try --- Errcode: 13. I have set the permissions on the target directory to be completely liberal --- anybody can do anything with it --- and I still get Errcode: 13. I can even write into that directory when logged in as mysql (UID 100, GID 100, and yes that is what the mysqld process is running as). What's going wrong here?
