Just one more recommendation:
If you are running InnoDB tables on the MySQL server (which is the new standard), then before you run the "mysql -u" command in step 2, edit the {filename}.sql file and make sure the first line reads...
SET autocommit=0;
and the last line reads...
COMMIT;
If you do not do this, your import will take FOREVER !
Hope this helps!
