Right I have done that. I've also mounted the NTFS folder that
contains
the music folders & tracks to /mnt/Music using
-sudo mount --bind /media/hdd1/"My Documents/My Music" /mnt/Music-
I've then changed the music folder in Slimserver and restarted. Now
when I go to the log I get
-2006-07-03 16:01:15.0485 DBI
connect('mysql_socket=/var/cache/slimserver/slimserver-
mysql.sock','',...)

1. What user are you running slimserver as? (and how are you starting,
from what user?)
2. ls -ld /mnt/Music will tell you whos owns this dir.

Running that gives....

Sorry, I should have said you need to do the above command as root.
It seems you have two different problems. Permissions and connecting to
mysql.
slimserver needs to run as a user that can access the files, that is
what the permissions problem is and should be easy to solve, at the
very worst chmod o+r -R /mnt/Music should make things work (maybe not
recommended though)
