Okay, so what I did to solve this was:
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
That seems like a bit of a hack though. The my.cnf file has this line:
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Anyone know why it's looking in /etc ?

The correct way to deal with this is to edit /etc/my.cnf and, in the
mysqld section set the location of the socket.
[mysqld]
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
if there are other systems expecting it to be at the new location, a
simple end run might be to create a link at /tmp/mysql.sock ->
/var/lib/mysq
