mysqldump not writing data to target database

I'm using MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.1.37, for Win32 (ia32) to transfer data to a host, however it is not working.
No data is written, I just get a generic message, claiming the dump was successful, when in fact it was not.

I can take exactly the same dump code, insert it into myphpmyadmin, for example, and it works perfectly!

What's wrong?

mysqldump.exe -h localhost -u user -p mydb > mydb.sql
 
 
 
mysqldump.exe -h hostname -u user -p mynewdb < countries.sql
