Oh, and another thing. When the SQL dump was created using latin1 encoding, MySQL Administrator could not execute it properly, I had to use phpMyAdmin which worked fine.

See my email attached, I run into similar issue. It's likely that your character set is latin1 and that you need to use mysqldump using --default-character-set=latin1 options when creating the SQL dump. I also assumed that my charset is UTF-8 just to discover that it's not true.
I am not using the mysql dumps but the XML dumps. I am importing them using importDump.php .
