You are logged in as root, but what user is mysqld running as?
If you stop the database, you can manually remove the test dir from the
datadir.
Or fix the permissions on your directories in the datadir, so that mysqld
can add/remove directories and files.
Look in your my.cnf file to find out what user the daemon is running as.
Usually, it gets set up with an unprivileged user of mysql
Did the scripts add the mysql user to etc/passwd?
How's that for a start?
