Currently the MySQL store plugin tests connectivity to a MySQL server by
attempting to connect to a 'test' database.

Not all distributions of MySQL create a 'test' database, connectivity to
MySQL should be accomplished by some other means.

Aah, this explains.
I got the following error:
Access denied for user 'rdflib'@'localhost' to database 'test'
Even though I never refer to a test database. The user I created was specific for this task, so it only got access to the database it should read and write to/from.
And I also found that Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) does not have a test database in the MySQL installation by default.

MySQL support was lost when we made the change to 3.0
It may be moved to rdfextras, see: http://code.google.com/p/rdfextras/issues/detail?id=18
