This is surely an access rights problem. If you'd su to the user running mysql (probably 'mysql') (full command: "su - mysql", or, if you don't have/know the password of the mysql user, use first "su -", then as root "su - mysql"), and then try accessing the directory you mentioned as user mysql, you'll soon see whether you're allowed to or not. If not, set the appropriate rights and things should work. In case you need them, manpages to look at would be: chown/chgrp, chmod, su. Hope this helps.
