The first thing that pops into my mind is that you may not be running 
mysql as the mysql user. Are you using a custom startup script? Did you 
change the mysql_user variable in the startup script? Do you have a 
custom my.cnf perhaps?

I've tried various permissions as well 777, 766, 666, 760, etc etc.  I've also ran mysqld_safe as root user, but with same permission error.  Also tried different directories without luck.

I've never had these files in any of my users' directories.  Another strange thing just discovered is IE or FireFox display "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server", on all web sites.
