It happens because you create the sql dump in the current directory of which you then make a tarball.

--> Make the tarball first, then do the sql dump.
--> Then move the two *gz files to backupdir

EDIT:
No wait, you delete the dump.gz after you added it to the tarball... so... i'm confused now...
Maybe you wanted something like
Code:
mysqldump -h "$host" -u "$username" -p"$password" "$dbName" | gzip > "$backupDir/$dataName".sql.gz
