Whats wrong with my MySql Query? (or PHP code...)?

<?php

require_once('../includes/dbstuff.php');

$export_table = 'merchant_account';

$term = ',';

$newline = '\n';

$optenc = '"';

$escape = "\\";

$sql = "SELECT email, current_balance, currency, track_number, track_notes FROM $export_table INTO OUTFILE '/home/lizix/public_html/OUTFILE.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '$term' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '$optenc' ESCAPED BY '$escape' LINES TERMINATED BY '$newline'";

echo "$sql <br><br>";

$export = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());

?>

Yields:

SELECT email, current, currency, track, track_notes FROM merchant_account INTO OUTFILE '/home/lizix/public_html/OUTFILE.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\n'' at line 1
