Your error file should be /var/db/mysql/ozelmo.wuhjuhbuh.afraid.org.err
Probable cause is bad permissions on the database.
If you are still having problems, try running mysql(not mysql_safe) -T.

I've had problems similar to this, although mine was from trying to start
defective using defective databases.  If I remember right running mysql was how
I found the problem.
