Network packet read error while dumping the binlog file

[Vaibhav Fursule]

I am new to mydumper, after successful installation I took some backups but when I tried to dump to binlog using option -b I got the following error
Network packet read error getting binlog file: mysqld-bin.000001

I am doing the backup on localhost
mydumper version - mydumper-0.5.2
MySQL version - 5.1.67-log Source distribution
OS - CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)

root@centos6 mydumper-0.5.2]# mydumper -B abc -o /tmp/mydumperbackup -v 3 -b
