did you restart the VS? and best to use the rc.vsd entry from Ben's faq page
http://www.fubra.com/vsdfaq/ as if put in the skel it does the setup for you
also add a mysql user to the VS otherwise vsboot will complain on restart
and give ownership of the mysql files to user mysql
if the mysql server hasn't been started you won't have a mysql.sock file -
you can start the mysql server by hand (but not a long term fix)
cd /usr/share/mysql
./mysql.server start
