Alright ... I figured it out (sort of)...
When I created a user account I put the value '%' in the host field of the mysql.user table. I was following the example of the root account that was already specified in the table. Apparently if I make that if I change that '%' to 'localhost' its fine. I don't really understand why but it fixed it...
