The location is correct. However mysqld looks for options in several files. For instance, it traverses the datadir, for my.cnf and home directory for .my.cnf. Then it merges defaults from all files read and attempts to start the server. So, it might be that you have another my.cnf, which is also processed. Try checking the option, which are actually read by the server with "mysqld --print-defaults".
