Actually, 

	mysqldump -u user -p password database_name > outfile.sql 

is also the incorrect command.  When providing the password in the command, there should not be a space between the "-p" and the actual password.  Try 

	mysqldump -u user -ppassword database_name > outfile.sql 

and see if that gets you anywhere.
