Check that the user has FILE privileges, given that a SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE sounds awfully like a mysqldump :- The FILE privilege gives you permission to read and write files on the server host using the LOAD DATA INFILE and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statements. A user who has the FILE privilege can read any file on the server host that is either world-readable or readable by the MySQL server. (This implies the user can read any file in any database directory, because the server can access any of those files.) The FILE privilege also allows the user to create new files in any directory where the MySQL server has write access. Existing files cannot be overwritten. Regards

They may well be able to log into mysql but can they actually access that database is more the question.
