Thankyou all, as usual one learns alot along the way.

FTR the solution adopted is:

/usr/bin/mysqldump {etc} > /home/tasks/backup/clientname-db-backup
/bin/bzip2 -f /home/tasks/backup/clientname-db-backup

For xz on debian you need squeeze or better, package name xz-utils, although available for lenny  from backports.
