It means what it says :) The user niban, coming from the local loopback
interface (the current machine) does not have the power to access the
database 'tracking', nor the power to drop it. A quick, and probably
crude, way to fix this is to login to the SQL server as the root user
(you should have that password), and do something like (I forget the
syntax, read the manual):
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.*
TO niban@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'
Then see if the script goes belly up.
