Well to be truthful I haven't set up MySQL on on-rev recently, but at dreamhost (I am running my own copy of Livecode server) I have to use a special subdomain for the SQL 'server' address - NOT localhost. I think one can use 'localhost' at on-rev, but some other restrictions might be in the way.
A test: does your desktop version work with the on-rev SQL as a remote client ? you can add IPs or entire domains in the cPanel : Databases : Remote SQL (you can use a * for all domains, easier but not recommended) Also MySQL allows for IP restrictions so make sure that is ok.
