For this answer, let's use /root/MySQLData.sql as the SQL File.
Go into mysql via the client and run it like this:
mysql> source /root/MySQLData.sql
Give it a Try !!!

I just caught on to your problem: Your program is not running because you did not supply the password. It is stuck in the background waiting for a password. That's your actual problem. Kill the job and run it again with the password on the command line:
mysql -u root -ppassword DB_NAME < .SQL FILE
or just use my original submitted answer up above.
UPDATE 2011-12-19 11:40 EDT
I just re-read the question. You said single table. Then it hit me !!!
You need to ramp up your bulk_insert_buffer_size. The default is 8M.
To see what your current setting is, run this:
mysql> show variables like 'bulk%';
Just add this to /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
bulk_insert_buffer_size=512M
So as to not restart mysql, run this SQL command:
SET GLOBAL bulk_insert_buffer_size = 1024 * 1024 * 512;
Give it a Try !!!
Your 1st mysqldump makes table structures and INSERTs and puts it in dump.sql.
Your 2nd dump is a remote dump that is piped straight into mysql in localhost.
If you are trying to catch any output based on errors, try this:
mysqldump -alv -h 123.123.123.123 --user=username --password=p@ssw0rd --add-drop-table databasename 2> output.log | mysql --user=username --password=p@ssw0rd -h localhost localdatabase
Using 2>
will catch any error-based output (aka stderr). The mysqldump should still pipe normal console output (aka stdout) to the other mysql session and load the data as intended.
EXAMPLE : I have a small database called sample on my PC.
I ran this:
C:\LWDBA>mysqldump -u... -p... --verbose sample 2>sample.txt > sample.sql
C:\LWDBA>type sample.txt
-- Connecting to localhost...
-- Retrieving table structure for table users...
-- Sending SELECT query...

Give it a Try !!!

I think you meant this:
This will import SQL from /device.sql into the fms database
mysqldump only outputs and is not designed to input anything
Doing this
will echo the mysqldump all all tables currenly in the fms database
