Thanks Ryan, That almost worked. The first run of the test script failed with the same error, but if I create the database from the mysql client in the server control panel, the script then asks if you want to delete the database and then continues and runs the tests.
Also the test database is not destroyed by the script when it finishes running. So while not perfect it does seem to work ok.
