Come to think of it, you could do this:

ls -al $mysql_dir  | grep ^d  | egrep -v '\.[\.]?' | grep -v $test | awk '{
mysqldump $9 }' | sh

where $mysql_dir is the directory wherein your mysql databases reside
and $test is the directory/database you don't want.

For those of you who don't read shell, the command line reads:

list all files in the mysql directory | show only the
directories/databases | do not show the . and .. directories | don't
show the $test directory/database | print out the statement "mysqldump
directory" |  pass those strings to the shell for execution.


Simple, no? :-)
