Backup Command Line for MySQL (Windows)

I am trying to backup a DB called MAIN, using the following command,

mysqldump -u root -p S33qual$$ main > mainbackup.sql

This command gives me an error saying no such Database S33qual$$. If I leave the -p and password option out and hit enter it prompts me for the password, if i then enter S33qual$$ and hit enter it does the backup.

Is it just me or am I missing something here? I am beginning to wonder if the $$ are confusing it..

Thanks,

Mark.
