David, maybe you missed it, but when I read the original post, he did
show his /var/lib/mysql/mysql directory, and I see the file there.

I'm guessing it might be how he tried to start it.

Wes... how did you try to start mysql? And what version are you using?
Did you try "service mysql-server start"? (Version 3.xx that came with FC3)
Or if you are using MySQL version 4.xx, "try service mysql start"
