1) That "file not found" error you posted suggests that the problem is that you're not specifying the right path for the .sql file you're trying to import. But you didn't reply to my suggestion about using the "ls" command to check that.
I don't think it matters whether there's a space after the "<".
2) To verify that the
mysql command is available, and that the MySQL user has (at least partial) access to the database, you could try the following, and see if you get any error messages. The black text is your input, the red text is the output and should look similar to this:
[:"red"]~$[/] mysql -u DBUSER -p <br />[:"red"]Enter password:[/] PASSWORD <br />[:"red"]Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. <br />Your MySQL connection id is 572779 to server version: 3.23.56 <br /> <br />Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.
