Basically, this means that your current mysql installation isn't working at 
all.  Bacula depends on a database (mysql in your case) to track what's backed 
up, so you'll have to fix mysql first.

Two easy things to check, are whether the mysql server process is running at 
all, and if so, if the mysql.sock file is actually stored in /tmp (the more 
common place for it is in /var/lib/mysql)

Beyond that, you'd probably have better luck contacting people in one of the 
mysql forums for help.
