FILE is a global level privilege.
You should grant:
GRANT FILE ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxx';

localhost on Unix system means that you are using Unix socket connection.
127.0.0.1 means that you are using TCP/IP connection.
But you can't use these accounts to connect to the MySQL server remotely. Check with
CURRENT_USER() function username and hostname that current connection was
authenticated as.
