Problems restoring database

I have a database dump, but I am having some problems restoring. After I run this command, its just goes back to the command prompt right away. It doesnt restore the database at all, it just seems to ignore the command.

Can anyone shed some light on what Im doing wrong?

mysqldump databasename -u username -pmypassword < /home/username/mysqldump.sql
