Do you maybe have an ipfw rule that would be blocking that? That's the
only thing I can think of that will cause an EPERM error on a socket
connect call. A "limit" rule with a too-low connection count could
cause what you're seeing. Adding an explicit "allow" rule before your
limit rule, allowing traffic to port 3306 of the other server, should
fix your problem.
