Missing database name: try this for unix sockets:-
[Replace "xclnews_db" with your database name]

mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal -D xclnews_db < \
	/big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database4.0.mysql

or this for TCP connect:-

mysql -u xclnews -p xclnews-drupal -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -D xclnews_db < \
	/big/dom/xclnews/www/drupal/database/database4.0.mysql
