Nick,

Just off the top of my head a few questions:

1. what is the output of mysqld -help (same error?)

2. what is the output of show variables like 'open_files_limit'

3. did you reload your apparmor profile?


However my best guess, based on what you wrote, is that you need to add your
db path to usr.sbin.mysql


HTH,
