Could it have something to do with the fact that you're escaping spaces
with slashes (ie. "\ "), but you also have the file names surrounded
with quotes? I don't know anything about Mac OS. What shell does it
use? The error messages are saying that the 3rd and 4th arguments (1
based index) are problematic. I think this should be the --write-mysql
and host="localhost" parts of the command line but it's hard to tell
with the mixed quotes and escapes.
