Thanks for your swift reply, William.
As it turns out, there are a number of arguments to mysqldump, and when I
supply them as you mentioned, it ends up being
mysqldump "arg1" "arg2" "arg3",
which mysqldump doesn't like.
However, you've solved a couple of issues I had elsewhere, so I'm now using
"arg value" for each argument, and this correctly wraps quotes where I need
them.
In the end for this problem, I used sqldump with commandline to temporarily
store the file locally. Then I move it using a "move todir" task, which
again, correctly quotes the specified dirs.
Thanks very much for your help.
