I'd suggest (if you haven't already) that you lift the exact username,
password, host and database name from the config file and try a 

        mysql -u <username> -p -h hostname <databasename>

give the password at the prompt and make sure .  It could be, for example,
that the mysql database is listening on the eth0 interface but not the
loopback or vice versa.  By default, I presume bacula connects on the
localhost so if that's not specified you should probably use 127.0.0.1.
