The workaround we came up with is dump the data to a temp table and then use a python program to convert and dump the table in CSV format. Though it works, I feel it is redundant and not so efficient way of doing things.
On second thought, you CAN use the mysql -e IF you do this (as an example): mysql -u root -p -Nsr -e "SELECT CONCAT('\"',FirstName,'\",\"',LastName,'\"') from db.users" Change to suit.

This calls for mysqldump then. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
Other 3rd party clients can do this too.
