In the install document provided here: http://drupal.org/node/260  and
copied in the download package for mac os X the mysql instruction say
to grant permissions as following
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.*
        TO *nobody at localhost* IDENTIFIED BY 'password';


   where


    'drupal' is the name of your database
    'nobody at localhost' is the username of your webserver MySQL account
    'password' is the password required to log in as the MySQL user
.
.
.
.


     $db_url = "mysql://*username*:password@localhost/database";


   where 'username', 'password', 'localhost' and 'database' are the
   username, password, host and database name for your set up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


this version of drupal, however, appends the '@localhost' portion of
the database login such that the corrected documentation should read as
follows:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.*
        TO *username* IDENTIFIED BY 'password';


   where


    'drupal' is the name of your database
    *'username'* is the username of your webserver MySQL account
    'password' is the password required to log in as the MySQL user
.
.
.
.


     $db_url = "mysql://*username*:password@localhost/database";


   where 'username', 'password', 'localhost' and 'database' are the
   username, password, host and database name for your set up.
