Description:
There is a typo 'snaphot' for --locking Option.

The right arguement for LOCKING is 'snaphost', not 'snaphot'.

How to repeat:
(1) Type mysqldbcopy --help
(2) You can see this explanation in help text.

  --locking=LOCKING     choose the lock type for the operation: no-locks = do
                        not use any table locks, lock-all = use table locks
                        but no transaction and no consistent read, snaphot
                        (default): consistent read using a single transaction.

Suggested fix:
Use 'snapshot' indtead of 'snaphot'.
