I have my doubts about permissions on /etc/pki/tls/private and on private
key inside it as well. Somebody hopefully will correct me as I don't know
how it is implemented in mysql/mariadb, but I assume sanity. And sanity
suggests that the first process (mysqld_safe) that runs as root reads
private key (and likely certificate), then passes private key to the child
process(es) which runs as regular user that is not able to read private
key, but gets it from parent proces. My assumption comes from what apache
is doing (only apache used droppriv).

I would (roll perms/ownership) back to default, and try to check locally
using openssl whether daemon is using ssl/cert/key, maybe start mysql
daemon in debugger to see what is going on with reading private key. I
would also think of other reasons why your instance of mysql (or mariadb)
could not be able to use _your_ key and cert, see, e.g.:

http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,400856,401127

(your case may be different, I would just try think wider, but maybe
debugger will give you the direct lead).
