FLUSH PRIVILEGES is not needed when you use GRANT/REVOKE/CREATE USER
etc....,
Usually this problem comes when you have the anonymous user in the grant
tables (''),
MySQL has a tricky way of processing the grant tables.
Sometimes you can be surprised by what you read issuing:
SELECT USER(),CURRENT_USER();
try this:
mysql -utim -psecret -h127.0.0.1 -P3306
