This one worked for me. It is now sitting in /private/etc/periodic/daily/ with other daily scripts being run by cron. Had to add the path to the MYSQLDUMP utility in this line:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Here is the script:

#=============================================================
# List of DBBNAMES for Monthly Backups.
MDBNAMES=”mysql $DBNAMES”
# List of DBNAMES to EXLUCDE if DBNAMES are set to all (must be in ” quotes)
DBEXCLUDE=””
# Include CREATE DATABASE in backup?
CREATE_DATABASE=yes
# Separate backup directory and file for each DB? (yes or no)

# Which day do you want weekly backups? (1 to 7 where 1 is Monday)
DOWEEKLY=6
# Command to run before backups (uncomment to use)
#PREBACKUP=”/etc/mysql-backup-pre”
# Command run after backups (uncomment to use)
#POSTBACKUP=”/etc/mysql-backup-post”
#=====================================================================
# Options documantation
#=====================================================================
# Set USERNAME and PASSWORD of a user that has at least SELECT permission
# to ALL databases.
#
# Set the DBHOST option to the server you wish to backup, leave the
# default to backup “this server”.(to backup multiple servers make
# copies of this file and set the options for that server)
#
# Put in the list of DBNAMES(Databases)to be backed up. If you would like
# to backup ALL DBs on the server set DBNAMES=”all”.(if set to “all” then
# any new DBs will automatically be backed up without needing to modify
# this backup script when a new DB is created).
#
# If the DB you want to backup has a space in the name replace the space
# with a % e.g. “data base” will become “data%base”
# NOTE: Spaces in DB names may not work correctly when SEPDIR=no.
#
# You can change the backup storage location from /backups to anything
# you like by using the BACKUPDIR setting..
#
# The MAILLOG and MAILADDR options and pretty self explanitory, use
# these to have the backup log mailed to you at any email address or multiple
# email addresses in a space seperated list.
# (this will require that you are permitted to run the “mail” program
# on your server.)
#
# Finally copy automysqlbackup.sh to anywhere on your server and make sure
# to set executable permission. You can also copy the script to
# /etc/cron.daily to have it execute automatically every night or simply
# place a symlink in /etc/cron.daily to the file if you wish to keep it
# somwhere else.
# NOTE:On Debian copy the file with no extention for it to be run
# by cron e.g just name the file “automysqlbackup”
#
# Thats it..
#
#
# === Advanced options doc’s ===
#
# The list of MDBNAMES is the DB’s to be backed up only monthly. You should
# always include “mysql” in this list to backup your user/password
# information along with any other DBs that you only feel need to
# be backed up monthly. (if using a hosted server then you should
# probably remove “mysql” as your provider will be backing this up)
# NOTE: If DBNAMES=”all” then MDBNAMES has no effect as all DBs will be backed
# up anyway.
#
# If you set DBNAMES=”all” you can configure the option DBEXCLUDE. Other
# wise this option will not be used.
# This option can be used if you want to backup all dbs, but you want
# exclude some of them. (eg. a db is to big).
#
# Set CREATE_DATABASE to “yes” (the default) if you want your SQL-Dump to create
# a database with the same name as the original database when restoring.
# Saying “no” here will allow your to specify the database name you want to
# restore your dump into, making a copy of the database by using the dump
# created with automysqlbackup.
# NOTE: Not used if SEPDIR=no
#
# The SEPDIR option allows you to choose to have all DBs backed up to
# a single file (fast restore of entire server in case of crash) or to
# seperate directories for each DB (each DB can be restored seperately
# in case of single DB corruption or loss).
#
# To set the day of the week that you would like the weekly backup to happen
# set the DOWEEKLY setting, this can be a value from 1 to 7 where 1 is Monday,
# The default is 6 which means that weekly backups are done on a Saturday.
#
# Use PREBACKUP and POSTBACKUP to specify Per and Post backup commands
# or scripts to perform tasks either before or after the backup process.
#
#
#=====================================================================
# Backup Rotation..
#=====================================================================
#
# Daily Backups are rotated weekly..
# Weekly Backups are run by default on Saturday Morning when
# cron.daily scripts are run…Can be changed with DOWEEKLY setting..
# Weekly Backups are rotated on a 5 week cycle..
# Monthly Backups are run on the 1st of the month..
# Monthly Backups are NOT rotated automatically…
# It may be a good idea to copy Monthly backups offline or to another
# server..
#
#=====================================================================
# Please Note!!
#=====================================================================
#
# I take no resposibility for any data loss or corruption when using
# this script..
# This script will not help in the event of a hard drive crash. If a
# copy of the backup has not be stored offline or on another PC..
# You should copy your backups offline regularly for best protection.
#
# Happy backing up…
#
#=====================================================================
# Restoring
#=====================================================================
# Firstly you will need to uncompress the backup file.
# eg.
# ungzip file.gz
#
# Next you will need to use the mysql client to restore the DB from the
# sql file.
# eg.
# mysql –user=username –pass=password –host=dbserver database < /path/file.sql
# or
# mysql –user=username –pass=password –host=dbserver -e "source /path/file.sql" database
#
# NOTE: Make sure you use "” in the above command because
# you are piping the file.sql to mysql and not the other way around.
#
# Lets hope you never have to use this.. 🙂

# Change Log
#=====================================================================
#
# VER 1.9 – (2004-05-25)

# Updated docs to mention that Log email can be sent to multiple email addresses.
# VER 1.8 – (2004-05-01)
# Added option to make backups restorable to alternate database names
# meaning that a copy of the database can be created (Based on patch by Rene Hoffmann)
# Seperated options into standard and advanced.
# Removed ” from single file dump DBMANES because it caused an error but
# this means that if DB’s have spaces in the name they will not dump when SEPDIR=no.
# Added -p option to mkdir commands to create multiple subdirs without error.
# Added disk usage and location to the bottom of the backup report.
# VER 1.7 – (2004-04-22)
# Fixed an issue where weelky backups would only work correctly if server
# locale was set to English (issue reported by Tom Ingberg)
# used “eval” for “rm” commands to try and resolve rotation issues.
# Changed name of status log so multiple scripts can be run at the same time.
# VER 1.6 – (2004-03-14)

# having to list each one seperately in the configuration.
