Permission Denied on mysql.sock

When I run MySQL from the root id, MySQL runs fine.
however when I run under a 'normal' id I get this error:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock' (13 "Permission denied")

I did an "ls -l" on the '/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock' file and the permissions come back as: "srwxrwxrwx".

Now this appears to be a symbolic link, but again according to the "ls -l" this link does not appear to be pointed anywhere.

Any Ideas?
