This is because you ran the mysql script manually as root first. This screws up ownership and permissions.
If you don't have any data there, the simplest is to start over completely with "rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/mysql" and let it get regenerated with "rcmysql start"
I uninstaled MySQL using YasT, deleted the /var/lib/mysql directory and then re-installed using YasT. I then ran /etc/init.d/mysql start from a console under my account but this does not seem to work either ...
No, you're supposed to run "rcmysql start" as root. That init script will then take care of setting the proper permissions on everything
