mysqldump error, why?

[Ian Gates]

hi there,

I have been trying to take a copy of our database, but it keeps failing, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please.

the code I am using is:

c:\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe --user=root --password=password --single-transaction --master-data --database db1 --ignore-table=db1.table1 --ignore-table=db1.table2 --ignore-table=db1.table3 --ignore-table=db1.table4 --ignore-table=db1.table5 --ignore-table=db1.table6 --ignore-table=db1.table7 --ignore-table=db1.table8 --result-file=d:\db1dumpfile.sql

the error I get is 'Illegal use of option --ignore-table=<database>.<table>'

thanks in advance
