The probabe cause is that you really typed that space. Write it
without space (compare http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Connecting.html)
and it should work:

mysql -u jupshoes -p<password> guestbook.sql

Btw, specifying the password on the command line is insecure, if that
is of concern to you (explained on the same manual page).

If the above is not the cause, have a look at 

http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/a/Can_not_connect_to_server.html
