I'm not a mysql person, but I've seen similar stuff.
I think that for some reason Unix thinks that the file
you're trying to execute is not an executable, so it
is trying to run it as a shell script. Try this first:
file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
and when it tells you that it is a text file, use an editor
to look at the contents of the file. You'll almost certainly
find that it contains SQL commands instead of being
the executable image that it should be.
