title: Sqoop Import --password-file function not working properly in sqoop 1.4.4
body: <p>I am using hadoop-1.2.1 and sqoop version is 1.4.4.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to run the following query.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://IP:3306/database_name --table clients --target-dir /data/clients --username root --password-file /sqoop.password -m 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>sqoop.password</code> is a file which is kept on HDFS in path <code>/sqoop.password</code> with permission 400. </p>
  
  <p>It is giving me an error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Access denied for user 'root'@'IP' (using password: YES)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone provide solution for this? Thanks in advance.</p>
