Jeremy,

The discussion on the page Peter cited refers prominently (twice in the first paragraph) to the max_user_connections server system variable. If you read the description of this variable (linked twice from the first paragraph on the page cited), you'll note that the default is 8. Therein lies the source of your issue and a likely solution to same. As Peter notes, there's a CREATE USER option that has a similar effect as setting this variable.

The point being that MySQL limits connections per user to 8 by default; if you want to permit more than that, you must explicitly increase this limit.

cheers
