It seems like those directories are owned by someone other than the user
that MySQL runs under. chown them to the user MySQL runs under. In the
future, posting info about MySQL ownership, who you're logged in as when
running safe_mysqld, ownership and permissions on problem files, OS, etc.
will get you better responses since they can all be important to solving the
problem.
