I don't have a direct answer for you, just some thoughts:
* traditionally, "localhost" is thought of as an alias for 127.0.0.1
* mysql however, tends to not interpret it like when connecting to the local server and
instead tries to connect to the socket
* to force mysql client to connect over tcp/ip instead, use -h 127.0.0.1
It's possible that the execution environment of a script is subtly different and causes
the client to interpret it the other way, but I've no idea what the exact difference
would be.
