Sorry - forgot to CC to list. Personally I have a feeling that if you take out the :3306, your script might just work. I read somewhere that on unix, mysql used a unix socket whenever the hostname was localhost. On unix localhost:something means that something is a unix socket, when it would otherwise be a port, so I think your system may be looking for a file named 3306(which would just happen to be a socket. Failing that replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 This is as well of course just a guess, and probably not a very educated one.
