Run that output!
But note, script above just fast clone tables - not views, triggers and user-functions: you can fast get structure by mysqldump --no-data --triggers -uroot -ppassword , and then use to clone only insert statement .
Why it is actual question? Because uploading of mysqldumps is ugly slow if DB is over 2Gb. And you can't clone InnoDB tables just by copying DB files (like snapshot backuping).
