Hi all,

We're trying to back up our database using mysqldump in various formats. We
have a shell script to do this and it works perfectly on one freebsd machine
but not on another.

Here is the error:

r2b% ./dbdump.sh
/usr/local/bin/mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file
'/usr/local/www/xx.xx.xx.xxx/dbdumps/2002-02-14/categories.txt' (Errcode:
13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE'
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive.
r2b% touch /usr/local/www/xx.xx.xx.xxx/dbdumps/2002-02-14/categories.txt
r2b%

As you can see there's no problem with me creating/writing the file.
categories.ext was created fine, but the .txt file doesn't like being done.

r2b% df -h
Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a   126M    31M    85M    27%    /
/dev/ad0s1f   252M   8.0K   232M     0%    /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g    25G   1.1G    22G     5%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e   252M   4.8M   227M     2%    /var
procfs        4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc

So no problem with disk space. MySQL uses /var/tmp for temporary space, and
the permissions there are fine.

Other MySQL dumps of the same tables work fine (in other formats) but not
this one (it's the one that dumps a file for table structure and another for
table data).

I'm at a loss to explain it. Any ideas out there would be appreciated :).

Thanks,
