Could it be that you have put your variables into the wrong section of your configuration file? I haven't been able to look it up to verify my information but I thought the section that starts with [mysql] contained settings for the command line client while the section that starts with [mysqld] contains settings for the server.
I would love to have the link(s) into the manual for the page(s) that describes which section header to use in the INI/CFG file for which product (mysql, mysqld, mysqldump, etc). I know I read it somewhere (a long time ago) but I can't find it today. Thanks!
