mdsmoke, do yourself a favor. You have exposed your password and the user name of your db; change your password. Also, best practices for using databases, is create an administrative login insead of using 'root'. Its much easier for a nasty malicious person or organisation to guess (root) than it is for them to guess a random 'user name'
As far as your topic issue, I'm not sure. I have the same issue. I'll let you know when I figure this out too.
