Could it be because "/usr/bin/mysql_install_db" was never run after MySQL was
installed?  Before you did the steps above were there MySQL database directories
on your server named "mysql" and "test"?  If not you were supposed to run the
mysql_install_db to install them or if you were installing from an RPM that was
supposed to do that for you it sounds like it was broken and you should notify
whoever created it.
