OK, I've managed to do the same thing with just the mysql command line program:

mysql -h 192.168.0.224 -u root -p alba2 < /Backup/Latest/ alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql

Works great. However, the sql file is normally gzipped, so.... Can I ungzip the file on the fly (and without removing the .gzip version) and pipe the contents as I did above? (Yes, I'm UNIX-impaired.) Something like:

mysql -h 192.168.0.224 -u root -p alba2 < gzip -dc /Backup/Latest/ alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql.gz

But so that it works...

I'm writing script that, each night, copies a small database to my laptop on the local network. I'm having trouble getting it to work. Here's my syntax so far (run on the server):

mysqlimport --host=192.168.0.224 --user=root --password alba2 alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql

Which produces:

The sql file is produced by automysqlbackup... Not sure what I'm missing, probably something obvious. Anyway, here's the first part of the sql file I want to import:
