[Users] local mysql access problem cont'd

Alright.. here is some dbg level 9 output of my problem. Basically openser starts, says it starts successfully, and then quits. I think it may have something to do with the fact that it is trying to access a local database even though it has been configured to access a remote one. I am quite sure that it is accessing the proper cfg, cause when I put garbage in it I get an error. Any help, clues, snide remarks, cryptic-guru-riddle-answers would be appreciated.
