Another 'can't get mysql server to run' post (6.0RC1)

Here is what is in place so far:

6.0RC1
mysql-4.15
I have installed mysql41-server from the ports
Placed 'enable_mysql="YES"' and mysql_dbdir="/var/db/mysql" in rc.conf
Run /usr/local/bin/mysql_install-db, creating a brand new mysql
directory.
I changed ownership of /var/db/mysql to root:wheel (and also
root:mysql)
I changed everything inside that to mysql:mysql.
Nothing works.
Not mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql
Not /usr/localetc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start
Not /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start
Nothing.

/var/log/messages gives me this:

051030 10:26:32 mysqld started
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld: File './auden-bin.000003' not found
(Errcode: 13)
051030 10:26:32 [ERROR] Could not use auden-bin for logging (error 13).
Turning logging off for the whole duration of the MySQL server process.
To turn it on again: fix the cause, shutdown the MySQL server and
restart it.
051030 10:26:32 [ERROR] Aborting

051030 10:26:32 [Note] /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete

051030 10:26:32 mysqld ended

That's right, .000003 is not in there (*.000002 is). Why would it be,
it's a new installation. So what's the trick here? Ports have always
been super, but as long as I can remember mysql from ports has been
(for me) a pain in the ass; so much so that I have always chosen to run
MySQL's binary package, which always works. I'd do that now but this is
a 6.0 install and MySQL doesn't yet have a 6.0 binary listed, and I'd
rather not start with the compat stuff so I thought I'd try the port
again.
