Andy, Michael, and Walter - thank you!
Adding a [mysqld_safe] group to my.cnf gets me further but the start
still fails. The good thing is that the failure is no longer due to
the
inability to write the log file. The [mysqld_safe] section of
my.cnf reads:
[mysqld_safe]
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
skip-locking
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 64
sort_buffer_size = 512K
net_buffer_length = 8K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M
datadir = /app/mysql/data
#data_file_path = /app/mysql/data
#log = /app/mysql/log/mysqld.log
log-bin = /app/mysql/log/mysql-bin.log
log-output = FILE
general_log = 1
general_log_file = /app/mysql/log/msyql_general.log
socket = /app/mysql/var/mysql.sock
log-error = /app/mysql/log/error.log
Luckily, I now have an error log which reads:

Now I need to figure out how to point PID file creation the

Sounds like you want:
pid-file = /app/mysql/log/mysql.pid
