I'm using the Unix Terminal in Mac OS X, with MySQL 5.0.19, and it
won't let me get beyond a certain point in the file structure to find
exactly where the files are. I can 'drill down' as far as the mysql
directory, which has the promisingly-named data directory inside it.
However 'cd data' tells me I don't have permission... but 'sudo cd
data' simply repeats the same directory! I can't seem to get into

I'm not sure this is true, as long as no-one's accessing it at the
time - and as this is on my local development platform no-one's
accessing it if I'm not. I ran myisamchk on some tables before I saw
your message - with the server running - and I've just run it again
after stopping the server, and got identical results.
You must be logged in as root or mysql.
sudo does the trick. :-)
