[mythtv-users] mysqldump shows no schema

[DFishburn]

Just finished installing a brand new Mythbuntu 12.04 install.

Before I restore my backup from my previous system I was trying to get a 
proper backup / dump of the defacto standard MythTV install.

mythtv at myth:~/myth_backup$ mysql -u mythtv -p** -D mythconverg

Now, I run mysqldump:

mythtv at myth:~/myth_backup$ /usr/bin/mysqldump -u mythtv -p*** 
--delete_master_logs --databases mythconverg > mythconverg_025_original.sql
OR
mythtv at myth:~/myth_backup$ /usr/bin/mysqldump -u mythtv -p*** 
--delete_master_logs --opt mythconverg > mythconverg_025_original.sql

mythtv at myth:~/myth_backup$  less mythconverg_025_original.sql

When I used the same command on my previous system, I would at least get 
the schema.  There is nothing here but comments, so that is not much of 
a dump and no chance at restoring.

Am I making an error with a newer version of mysql installed?

Thanks,
