It appears the v4.0.1 mysqlhotcopy perl script has been modified and broken.
When using cp for the backup it's passing a null value for the file(s) to be
copied. Below is a session clipping of an execution with --debug turned on:
------------------------------------------------------------
# /u02/mysql/mysql-4.0.1/bin/mysqlhotcopy test_myisam --allowold --debug

];

Any fixes for this?
