nub question: <db/create.sql?

This is a MySQL problem. See MySQL’s documentation on what’s going wrong…

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/access-denied.html

Just from what you’ve provided, I would guess that your installation of MySQL hasn’t been completed. There are steps for securing the initial MySQL account…

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/default-privileges.html

…and steps for creating users to access the databases…

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/adding-users.html

Once I secure the initial account from the command line, I prefer to use PhpMyAdmin to do the rest, like creating databases and assigning privileges…

You need to create the database and set its privileges before you can run the migrations on it.
