So, I can't understand why it won't run :( Permission problems perhaps?

Right, but what about the permissions?
Oh yes! All the mysql-bin files in /var/lib/mysql are rw-rw----
Also, what created the backup (i.e. OS and mysql version?) and does the mysql manual say that you can directly use such a copy with a newer version if that is applicable? Or does it say to take a dump with the old version and restore from the dump?
The backup was done outside mysql, by rsnapshot (uses rsync and cp). But the problem here is starting (or not) mysqld. Surely the databases come next. Maybe in future I should locate my databases in /home, and I won't get this problem.
