Okay this really hard to read and I can't figure out what you're saying and what Dreamhost is saying. But you connect to MySQL EITHER through a socket or a host. In the case of Dreamhost you always connect through a host (as far as I know).
The other issue I run into on Dreamhost is that if I'm running commands via ssh for a production site I need to explicitly set the mode to production like this:
RAILS_ENV=production rake migrate
As for the copying files... well it looks like only the subversion files didn't copy which shouldn't really be an issue, but if you want to figure it out go look up a unix permissions tutorial.
