In mysqlhotcopy, function copy_files, there is a line, my @non_raid = grep { $_ !~ m:\d\d/: } @$files;
(dont you just love perl?). If the database name in question is, for example, testone_750, a perfectly legal database name (??), then no files get copied! and the mysqlhotcopy fails. I presume (again ??) that the above line is trying to strip out all ../ matches. If so, then wouldn't { $_ !~ m:\.\./: } do just as well? I changed the my @non_raid = grep { $_ !~ m:\d\d/: } @$files; to my @non_raid = grep { $_ !~ m:\.\./: } @$files; and it seemed to fix my problems.
