Description:
  When I use mysqlhotcoy to connect to another server the script looks locally for files that won't exist.

How to repeat:
mysqlhotcopy -u user -p pwd --host=anotherBox plan-bid folder/

Box I am running the scrip on will report an error and just exit like this:

Cannot open dir '/var/lib/mysql/plan-bid': No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy line 290

this directory will not exist since I am connecting to a different server.

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with mysqlhotcopy from a newer version, 5.0.45 at least, and inform about the results.
