The home directory for mysql has incorrect/wrong permissions. for 1 thing,
it does not have exectute permissions, so no one, not even owner will be
able to cd into it.
at the very minimum, change the permissions from 660 to 770 - check the mysql
docs for proper permissions for the home directory, but 660 is most definately
wrong.
