Are you using nss_db? I very much doubt that would be the cause of the 
problem if you're not.

Most have you checked the file permissions on all of the mysql data 
dirs, files, config files? If they are owned by a user that only exists in 
the mysql passwd table it may fail.

Is there any conflict with a user being listed in both /etc/passwd and 
mysql?

You dont have anything odd in your /etc/pwdb.conf do you?

Other than these possibiities I cannot think of anything that would cause 
the problem.
