      The wiki docs for mongoexport suggest that it is a tool for exporting a collection:
      http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/mongoexport

      The manual suggests that it should export all collections by default:
      http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongoexport/#cmdoption-mongoexport--collection

      --collection <collection>, -c <collection>
Use the --collection option to specify a collection for mongoexport to export. If you do not specify a <collection>, all collections will exported.

      Have tested with 2.0.6 and 2.1.2, but cannot export all collections:

      ~/mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.0.6/bin/mongoexport -d test  
connected to: 127.0.0.1
no collection specified!

      ~/mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.1.2/bin/mongoexport -d test
connected to: 127.0.0.1
no collection specified!
