Description:
WB seems to be ignoring the "Path to mysqldump tool" I set in Preferences.

This renders Data Dump effectively useless in a large number of situations.

How to repeat:
Set some nonsense path in Preferences and try dumping.

Alternatively, set the preference to point to an actual 5.1 mysqldump binary while you have a 5.0 mysqldump binary somewhere else in the system PATH. Dumping will fail with "mysqldump: unknown variable 'replace=FALSE'".

Suggested fix:
Obviously the path set in Preferences should be honored.

An entry was added to the 5.2.11 changelog:

The path to the an external mysqldump tool set in the MySQL tab of the Preferences dialog was ignored by MySQL Workbench. This prevented the Data Dump facility in the Admin screen from working correctly, as the required tool could not be found.
