Backup - packet bigger than max_allowed_packet

I'm trying to backup my database with mysqldump, but if fails.

I receive this error message
packet bigger than max_allowed_packet bytes when dumping

The packet size in my.cfg is already huge
max_allowed_packet = 16000000000000000000000000000M (for testing purposes) but it still fails. I have restarted the server each time after changing values ;)

Does anybody know what could be causing this?
