> seems to put the socket file in the wrong place- (should be in /tmp) Your running copy of mysqld has --socket==/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock argument. Perhaps mysqld_safe puts it by default or reads from [mysqld_safe] or [mysqld] sections of configuration file. Specify the value of socket variable explicitly.
