mysqldump access denied error

[Tait Sanders]

I've put together a shell script that is simply - 

/usr/bin/mysqldump -u user -ppassword db > dbBackup.sql

When I run this script I get  the error "1045: Access denied for user '
user@localhost' (Using password: YES) when trying to connect"

When I log into mysql - user#mysql -u user -p password - I connect fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

thanks,
tait
