You give me hope but...
I attempted to set up permissions but it appears that I need to start up MySQL in order to do that.
That brings me right back to my original problem of not being able to connect.
I am thinking of reinstalling MySQL to see if I missed something in the original install.
Any more suggestions please, I am at a loss.

InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to InnoDB: the directory. InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
The http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html stated:
If something goes wrong in an InnoDB database creation, you should delete all files created by InnoDB. This means all data files, all log files, the small archived log file, and in the case you already did create some InnoDB tables, delete also the corresponding .frm files for these tables from the MySQL database directories. Then you can try the InnoDB database creation again. It is best to start the MySQL server from a command prompt so that you see what is happening.
Question: Should I delete these files? and if so, how do you delete files from the command line?
No, you should set up permissions on the directory and file. Error 13 means "Permission denied".
