Your mysql database (a system db with the access privileges) has a table called host
which has amongst other files, one called host.frm
It seems that mysqld doesn't have permission to read this file.
Check that the mysqld owner and this file's owner are the same and change accordingly.
regards,
thalis
p.s. in general do a:
$ perror <error_code>
to see what the error you are getting means. Eg your error gave:
Error code 13: Permission denied
