This is a UNIX Domain Socket,  which explains my TCP/IP connects work
and local connections do not.  What are it's permissions?  If you do a
"netstat -ap --protocol=unix" do you see your mysqld listening on the
domain socket?

No, mysqld runs standalone, the superserver (inetd, xinetd) is not
involved.
