Export and then import schema

Suggested fix:
Works without "--protocol=pipe"

Verified on Ubunut 10.04. As soon as your instance is defined on localhost and connects using socket (NOT TCP/IP), we have this bug. 

See bug #59730 for a similar bug about data export.

Noted in 5.2.34 changelog.

For import and export command operations using a Unix socket file,
Workbench added an incorrect --pipe option to the command.
